Thanks to all who posted details of their vehicles.

I have disregarded the Australian entrants with the Isuzu engines - Sorry
Steven and JD.


Highest overall milage was recorded by a 1970 2286cc diesel with an amazing
420,000 miles recorded - Steve G

Highest 200Tdi was entered by Beamendsltd with 230,000 miles

Highest 300Tdi was entered by D. young with 166,000 miles.


If these milages can be beaten then let me know.

It was also interesting to see that there were some people who have had
nothing but trouble with their engines. I guess they were built on a Friday
!!!

I had a 1999 TD5 disco with 116k on the clock when I got rid of it. I
believe it has around 175k on it now.

Mate of mine has 220K or thereabouts on 300TDi 1995 Discovery. All
original except gearbox and water pump. Still a very tidy vehicle,
just some minor body rot setting in.

Quite apart from what day of the week engines were built on, results will be
very dependent not only on maintenance but on the type of driving and
driving style. Engines of all types last a lot better when driven mainly on
long trips, and will also last better if driven sympathetically and in a
dust free environment by a driver alert for any signs of problems - mind
you, this type of driver will also report a lot of problems, even if minor.

Pity you decided not to include Australian contributors, though. If you use
the argument that these engines are only available to some readers, you
should discount those engines never sold here, or those engines never sold
in the U.S., for example.

You raise good points. I never included the Isuzu engines as I really wanted
to see what the Landrover built engines were like.
It should be said that I did get details of an Australian Isuzu engined
Landrover with 800,000 Kms on the clock.

Gees, I didn't know there _were_ a variety of engines for a paricular
model !...I thought mine was just the 'standard' 2.49 "300 Tdi" Landrover
engine. .....How do I tell what 'engine' my 1997 300 Tdi Defender has ??

.... frodo.
 
Mmm! I notice no V8's on the study?
