    Any assistance with answering this question would be appreciated. How was this percentage of 2% of Diesel engines failing in D3/4’s decided upon? I am considering buying a second Disco 4 and while very happy with the V8 was considering another diesel, thus my interest in this 2% number.
    Cheers,
    Terry

    It was made up just like 87.68% of all internet statistics.

    The real figure is closer to sub 0.2% of all sold.

    Terry - just pay your money and take your chances - as Momma said "buying 3.0TDV6 is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get"

    .

    It sounds more like whether it is 2% or 0.2% it’s at best a guess, which serves no one well when trying to make an informed decision.

    The old saying of once bitten twice shy springs to mind as I have already had one Disco die when the 2.7 in my D3 died a rather noisy and painful death after only 110,000 K’s on the clock on what was already a relatively new long engine that I had serviced every 10k, it would be nice to know if there is a stat out there that is based on proven fact that which would be most helpful to everyone who is either considering buying one or for that matter selling one.
