Has anyone on the site got one for sale by any chance ?

You were right . The seal had slipped down the channel just as you described. Sorted it ( For now! ) Many thanks.

Good point. I will have a look tomorrow . Any idea how it should be secured to the frame? ( Thanks for the quick reply ) Lex.

I have just been trying to find the source of the whistling noise and severe draught in my rear n/s door . It seems that one of the seals from inside the channel of the rear , upright edge of the window frame is missing. ( It looks like it also guides the window ) Does anyone know the name of...

Thanks.

Does anyone know if a rear wiper motor from a 300tdi would fit on a TD5 ?

The stereo in my 2001 TD5 xs is not working . There seems to be power going into it and the buttons illuminate when I put the side lights on . The fuse seems ok as well . The model no. is XQD000110LNF . It has the CD changer under the driver's seat. I'm thinking of replacing the stereo...

Thanks for the advice guys. I bought the car from a friend so am okay with the history but will sort a service anyway. Sorry to sound a bit dim , but what's the deal with the EGR ? Thanks in advance. Lex

Bought a 2001 Y Reg TD5 XS last night. 94,000 miles MOT til May 2011. 5 seat ( Although the V5 says 7 ) A few dings on the bodywork but looks ok from the outside . The only problem is the interior . - The last owner used it as a farm vehicle. It needs an industrial steam clean on the seats...

Good advice , thanks

Will be using it for mostly on-road ferrying 3 kids,their friends and our dog around , occasional towing and driving through the snow! Had a 3 door tdi in the past and loved it. Not sure about the lap belts on the tdi but have heard lots of horror stories about the TD5 being very complicated to...

Thanks for the advice guys. I think the tdi is the way to go.

I have seen two Discoveries - One is a late model 300tdi Safari with 99000 miles on it and the other is an early TD5 S with around 130000 miles. Both are similar money . Both look tidy . At the minute , I am leaning towards the Safari but would welcome your opinions. :confused:

Thanks for the reply . With it being a Classic rear seat , I think I would be left with the same problem of having a lap belt in the centre . Can anyone confirm this ? Lex.

I have seen numerous threads about replacing the rear lap belt in a 300tdi with a 3 point seat belt and it seems almost impossible. Having 3 young children , I would be very keen to do the conversion . Does anyone know if a Range Rover rear seat will fit in place of the original ? Lex.
