SO EARTHLINGS BE VERY AFRAID. . . . .

had my 53 plate with 50000 on clock just over a year now and apart from the ocean in the cubby hole and a strong vibration which disappeared when i cleaned it nothing has really gone wrong YET.

2000 2.0 Xdi

Cracked Chassis (Fixed with a couple of strips of inertube, well its still cracked but you can't hear it)
Misfire Chaffed 'start of injection' sensor wire. Fixed with insulation tape.
Pig to start can only easily fit two glow plugs but that fixed it.
Front suspension bushes worn but I haven't changed them as I can't get the bolts out.
40K miles in 18 months 160K on clock.

Can't complain really but I'd take a 300Tdi disco as a swap cos its a rover at the end of the day.

Here Goes; 2001 TD4 in the last year
Alternator
Starter Motor
Leaking Gearbox
Leaking Intercooler
