Agreed - nowt that can really go wrong. If you’ve got air, fuel and a spark it’ll fire unless the timing is woefully out (180 degrees). If the timings correct it will still run (might be a bit ****e). Backfires normally mean timing massively out.
So had a look, leaky sunroofs, Rev counter sometimes works, 2 x warning lights and some corrosion (see MOT Checker). Tidy overall for a 2004 but would prefer an Auto box.
Still on Gum Tree (Tidworth) if interested

So…being Defender and Series person I’m looking at selling one to get a Disco. I’ve seen one for £2400 with 177k on the clock. These engines are a unknown to me and it’s got part history - potential buyer but are the TD5 ok for miles?
thanks
