Whats the life expectancy of a Disco 300 TDI engine? (94/95 model)

Should be good for 300k miles, although the injection pump is the weak link above 200k miles. The early ones had a habit of breaking the header spring if even the slightest bit of moisture gets in yer diesel. You can get them repaired at an authorised service place like Powerline in Shipley, but it's about £500. Compared to £1100 for a new one or £50 from a scrappy, go figure what the intelligent option is...

I swapped the engine in mine, and the new engine had 220k miles on it, I've done another 25k, and it's as sweet as a nut touch wood
