rocky Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi, can anyone tell me if the bodies of the td5's are better built that the 300's. My 300tdi is getting a bit tatty round the door seams and at the bottom of the wings, but i've heard that the td5 engine is not so reliable as the 300. so it's a choice of getting mine tarted up or buying a disco 2.

woff Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well if you buy a TD5 it's obviously going to be newer. But my 99 TD5 has corrosion just not quite the same places as my previous 300 and 200's. They definately leant a thing or two about the corosive problems between the alu and steel but there are still the same issues. For example roof meets the rear section, rear door seal. Wheel arches are better tho. My advice is if you want a newer poor mans range rover buy a TD5. But if your off roading keep the 300. I'm scared to use my Disco off road as it's still new ISH.
