hi all, its time for a landy, its been about 10yrs since my last one a Slll 109
i now need another. however do i go for a well sorted tdi or td5. It must be a 110 csw, to transport 3-4 persons, dog, 2 sets of diving gear, 2 kayaks, 2 bikes and tow a large caravan.
wont be doing any major off road stuff, and it will also be used as a every day transport, skool run, shopping etc....
Budget is upto 15k but do i spend all of this on a 3ish yr old td5 out of warrenty, and have to find the extra money for roof rack etc... or do i get a specialist builder to build me a tdi to my requirments with the knowlage that all should then be well with it?
Will the tdi have enough tourque to cope with all the gear i take with me and tow a 2 ton caravan? Even after squeezing every last pony out of it.
at the moment i use a hyundai terracan which tows fantasticly (dont even know the van is there!) but it is a struggle to get all the gear in.
Any help would be most welcome, my 13yr old son and i are getting quite excited about getting another landy after so long. cheers marcus
