Oh, oh! So now you guys get to share in the new level of unreliability and expensive repairs
which this marvel of modern Land-Rover engineering drags in it's calamitous wake.
In the last two weeks, two of the za-lro TD5 owners have suffered catastrophic engine failure
necessitating almost complete rebuilds (fortunately one was still under warranty, the other is
just over 3 years old so the owner is facing the bill himself). The engine is prone to
overheating problems and is VERY expensive to repair.
