Thread: who's got the lowest km disco1/spec, maintenace work done

I have a white 1992, 2 door V8. It has 175,000 on the clock, One previous owner with all original books and records, it even has its removable centre console/sadle bag!
I've spent about about 2k on it since I bought it earlier this year as the bearings and brakes needed replacing.

I have a 97 with 147000km on it. As standard apart from oil changes and recent timing belt...

'95 TDI Disco with 151,000.

Didn't realise when I purchased it that it had a small leak in a radiator hose, so before I got around to doing any servicing/checking it overheated. Now it has a new head gasket.

My 97 Disco has 126,000km and I've owned since new.

3 x timing belt changes (maintenance)

3 x serpentine and A/C belts.

2 x idler pulley bearing

1 x ZF box overhaul

1 x drive plate.

1 x radiator due to leak.

transmission and oil cooler hose's replaced.

2 x Crank seal (T-seal)

Repairs to Alpine window surrounds under warranty.

Why on earth have you had to do 3 timing belts?

- The drive plate is the give-a-way, - you've been doing burn-outs & donuts

1st one was done at 35k as the timing cover was removed while looking for a knocking noise that ended up being the drive plate but surprisingly sounded like the noise was coming from the front of the motor.
Second one I did after another 40k just to be safe as it was 7 years old. And the last one not so long ago after the outer edge of the belt frayed and I could see the damage through the wading plug hole with a small globe.
