Thread: Is 400,000 in a 300tdi too much?

I should clarify,
I bought my Disco last year for $2000. Its my first car and i am hoping it will do me another 2 or 3 years. (Until i buy a slightly used 90 )
I am using this trip as an excuse to spend some money on the old girl and get her running as well as i can and also clear up as many problems as i can.
In addition to the oodnadatta track we are doing a week long high country trip soon after we return and i usually go out driving every couple of weeks.
I am also about to fit some 265/75 16 Cooper ST MAXs to it along with a 2" lift and dont want that revealing other issues.

I suppose you could call it preventative maintenance. I would rather spend a little bit of time and money on it now then have it fail in 12 months time and cost big bucks to repair.
And i want to do all this while learning more about my vehicle and maintaining a vehicle myself (something that has fascinated me since i was young)

I also dont know the whole history of the car so i would like to get everything up to scratch and make sure im not missing any major issues.

My old man's 130 has done a lick under 400,000km. He says it's a bit smokey and rattley when it's cold, but once it's oil is up to temp it goes like a dream!
