G'day all

Im looking at buying a defender with a 2.8 tgv in it. I have read a lot of mixed reports. Can anyone give me any long term reliability or issues with this engine. Ive read a few reports from here and in the uk that some have gone bang after only 100,000 kms. I understand there are many variables as to why an engine can blow up though. Can anyone give me better news or shed some light on this engine?
Regards
Michael.
