Nasher Member Since: 28 Dec 2011 Location: Near Pompey Posts: 46	9 seats? Hi all. Was thinking of going to look at this tomorrow, but am not sure as I didn't think any TDCi had 9 seats. Probably just me getting my facts wrong. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140876539927?ssP...1423.l2649 From the questions it looks like I'm not the only one to query it. Nasher.

The ad says its a 2.5 Tdi, which is obviously wrong as well. The only way you could achieve 9 seats is to have 4 inward facing seats in the boot like a Td5 CSW, but I don't think that does as you'd be able to see them in the side view photos. It could of course just be written by someone who doesn't actually know that much about the vehicle, which quite often happens! There are always a good few Pumas on AutoTrader listed as Td5s - usually by main dealers as well! Wouldn't be too put off by it. Just don't expect it to have 9 seats - probably the usual 7! 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Nasher Member Since: 28 Dec 2011 Location: Near Pompey Posts: 46	Yep, I saw the 2.5 TDi reference too, but put that down to stupidity. But surely nobody can mistake two forward facing seats for four inward facing seats, unless it is a TD5 after all. I've asked if I can view it, so we'll see what happens. Might finaly swap the D3 for a Puma, then just need to save up for the 3.2 conversion . Nasher.

Careful study of the magnified side view does not show the forward facing seats in the rear, either in the unfolded or folded position. Could have Td5 rear side seats fitted which would be outside build spec and impossible to get insurance on. Fine if used ONLY on private land but NOT on public roads.

Nasher Member Since: 28 Dec 2011 Location: Near Pompey Posts: 46	I've been in touch with them now, they are insisting it's a 2.4TDCi, and that it came new with 9 seats. It will be worth viewing it just to confirm what it is. The one interior shot does show the gear levers 'a la' TDCi. Nasher.

Green Machine Member Since: 19 Nov 2010 Location: North Yorkshire Posts: 1226	Strange. Did they tell you how the seats are configured? The only other option is that it has 2 long benches down either side in the boot, as a 300 Tdi CSW would have had, but that would be none-approved as well, as Welsh Gas says. It's an odd one! Be interesting to finally find out what it does have! 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Nasher Member Since: 28 Dec 2011 Location: Near Pompey Posts: 46	They've not mentioned the configuration, and I think are getting a little peeved at my questions judging by their answers getting shorter and shorter. Annoyingly it will be much later in the week before I can get over to have a look, so if anyone wants to beat me to it please feel free. Nasher.

Lou Sparts Member Since: 15 Apr 2012 Location: Kent Posts: 1501	Or a converetd USW,might be a good idea and get the reg number and confirm with your local main dealer exactly what it is before making a journey.A converted USW will not have the same value as a genuine CSW. 2005 Td5 90 XS Steve

I think they're mistaking the carpeted wheel boxes for bench seats. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

I'd have at least thought they'd have gave it a clean up though before taking pictures.  Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes. Big Brother is Watching. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪

Correct, I went on the site a few hours ago, said I was interested, and asked the seller to add a picture of the load bay with the 4 extra seats.... Now we see the result. It is a 5 seat Puma in reality and guess the seller thinks that left and right those are two benches for 2 people each  You never actually own a Defender.

Here is copy of the sellers response to my question for the picture. He surely is no car buff...
