Finally managed to get a TD5 90 to join my Double Cab
51 plate County SW, Epsom Green 57,000 on the clock and (this is true) one lady owner. Ideal for what I want, not pristine but overall in good condition. Only immediate job is to get the clutch/thrust bearing sorted out, anybody know a good indy local to Taunton who can do the job at a reasonable cost ? Pictures to follow when I pick it up later this week.

I have seen a couple of Epsom Green 90 SW with low mileages. They are out their, always better to wait for a nice unmessed with example that hasn't been abused 
Good job Bob

Pictures as soon as I pick it up later this week
For what I was looking for it fits the bill perfectly. The only mods I could fine were Exmoor seats, both fronts and the four rears (which are coming out - watch the for sale listings), lockable cubby box and a decent radio. Needs work but this is my off road project and things will be added that I need (winch is certainly on the list after this weekends exploits, I will keep the winch on the 110 as well as that will still be used off road !). Adrian Flux really came up trumps on insurance especially as I had no no claims bonues on this one, under £300 with two drivers and off road cover. It is limited mileage (7500) but that should be plenty for my needs. I never realised the sound of a standard TD5 was so good, it will be much better after the cat is removed and straight thru centre pipe added 
It was worth the wait and I am realy pleased I didn't go for a more expensive specimen.

Thanks guys
There was a 2003 90 with a decat, straight thru pipe and EGR removed at this weekends event and it sounded the dogs 
It went like a scalded cat as well but I never got the chance to talk to the owner to find out exactly what he had done.

if the release bearing noisy then they all do that! only fix is to soak it for a few months in oil prior to fitting
well done on the td5, take the pressure off the DC for a while |

Thanks for that tip
I think one of the main problems with the vehicle is that it has not really been used, there were a lot of big cobwebs in the cab - I hate spiders 
I was looking at the cost of replacing the rear cross member, I have recovered now
I think I will just put a new chassis on when needed, a lot more cost effective
Collect at 5pm Thursday

Shouldn't be anywhere near needing a new cross member surely?
Release bearing, if it's just noisy I'd leave it, they really do all do that. Most only do it from cold. |
