Welcome Scudder & Merry Christmas.
The Diesel is a bit slow and lacks the refinement of the rest of the car. But you do get resonable economy, best to try both before you buy.
Good luck.

Thanks for quick reply
People tell me that you can get the diesels chipped?
Merry Xmas to you also

Yep, I had my 1999 Disco II TD5 chipped plus a bigger intercooler. Power up to 185bhp and almost 100ft lb more torque, it hurt the economy by only 1 mpg, cost total about £1,100 fitted. Went like stink.

do you have to change intercooler when you get it chipped or can you just chip it plus how much for chip on its own?

No you don't have to change the intercooler as well, but you won't get the same performance from just the chip, but it will be cheaper of course. Don't know how much.
