Defender TD5 Year 2000 ( 180 000km )

I have a defender 90 TD5 it had the 1800000km service and had all the required done.

I am most concerned about the durability of land rover, it seems to have to have major thing go wrong at times

At 175.000km I had the air flow meter replaced
At 180.000km I had all the discs and pads replaced with new
At 160.000km I had the cylinder head taken food due to a compression leak

I am waiting on the engine to blow up at 190.000km and then I will have to spend 40% of the present value of the vehicle to get mobile again.

Can anyone tell me of any similar scenarios or experiences.

You must've been very hungry if you were prepared to eat your cylinder
head. Still, it's not the car's fault, is it..

Ah, but hopefully not offensive to the majority of posters.

I read it as Voetsek, hyper-thrash type music. Which has the same
meaning, to me, as Voetsak...
