Pitfalls!

Can anyone advise me please.

Looking at buying a 2.0 td4, 4-5 years old, max 60,000 miles and only £8000 to spend.

What problems may I occur with a vehicle this age. Will it be a love affair with my wallet and endless trips taking it back for repairs etc?

I can offer some advice. Buy a 2.5 litre V6 Freelander with 39k miles on it. Nearly 6 years old but can be yours for £6000. Photos in the gallery
Not sure what the TD4 is like on the money sucking front. I do hear good rumours though. Good engine for instance. If you want brutal accelaration and a lovely sounding power plant get the V6 though Photos in the gallery !!!

As you seem to make some advertisement for your car, don't forget to mention you added some pictures of it in the gallery eh ......

Go for it but make sure never to have gas put into your coolant tank....
