i have covered 306 miles in it now, it's smooth and powerfull 200bhp engine returns 49.7 at the moment and still allows me to cruise with the motorway traffic

cream leather seats & cards makes the inside bright

everything works just how it should, the radio is fine and i can plug my iphone in too

nice easy drive .. so far - still smiling Thumbs Up

Glad your enjoying it. I have had one now for just over a year and still disappointed that it's slower off the mark that my TD5 Defender.. Just takes too many revs to make it move and you need a good gear change because you need to work it all of the time.

It's a pretty car though.

All my TD5 has had done engine wise is damn good service, egr removed and decent exhaust system.
Goes like a scalded cat from a standing start Shocked

Not quite as good as the Porsche but Alex was amazed when she tried to follow me and she is not known for being light footed Thumbs Up

No, only 120d, the 123d has a lot more poke, still think my defender has the edge on drive ability against the 123d which I've drive a fair bit.

The td5 is stage 2 from IRB with a VNT, about the same power as a 123 and loads more torque.
