My TD5 90
Hi

Im fairly new on here but been lurking about for a while reading alot of threads and i thought i would share what im doing with my TD5

i bought it in the middle of october as a sorry looking truck cab pick up with an ifor back one it, it had spent a few year on a dairy farm and got a few battle scars but its only got 53k on it and was a good price so i thought i would try and bring her back to life.......
