wasnt there an article not all that long ago with a defender that had over a million it was in a 4x4 ag and was on the front cover. our 300tdi had about 225k when i totaled it, dad was going to buy it back for the engine mostly as it was just getting good. i personally loved the 300tdi
and yes with any car you give it good oil,do the changes when needed or even abit earlier and it will pay off in the long run. my dad has a 99 vectra as a drive to work car just over 240k on an auto box still good ran abit rough after sitting for a few months over winter though, and the lining is giving me static on the head but still you cant complain to much
I have just purchased a 110 TD5 1999 with 377,000kms!!!:pQuote:

He has a hot house business and was delivering hot houses across 3 states in a large tandem. It had a few clutches. gear box and general repairs though. It now just sits in his shed. It was one of the first that came out.

Interesting reading - might show SWMBO this thread. She is looking for a Puma for slightly better comfort. I wouldn't mind a project car.
I've seen a '99 Defender with 300,000km for $14,000
Had new head, injectors, pump, turbo and clutch replaced 20.000kms ago
Going by this thread, it might only be considered middle aged ;)
You're nearly all young pups! I thought diesel motors were supposed to do high k's......I have a Mitsubishi Triton, 4 cyl Petrol that's done 520,000 on it's original motor :p
My 300 karked it at about 300.000 from lack of Coolant changes and has corroded throu in to number two pot. But internally other wise was great
I'm up to 307000km in my 93 200tdi Defender 110. Going strong. :)
