I have recently had to replace a TD5 engine in a Disco 2 due the extensive damage caused to the head, piston, con rod etc. - by ONE broken valve spring. Engine had done 160k miles.
Are broken valve springs a common fault? Is there anything you can do to prevent or anticipate a broken spring? All I got was a short period of misfiring (about 3 minutes) then a dead, seized engine.
