Mines done 118,000 miles (about 180k) and that's not considered much for a diesel.
Harness/sump gasket/rocker cover gasket/ FPR have been changed

Go to www.mrauto.com.au talk to Dwayne. They have a modified harness, stops the oil leaking. There is still residual oil in the lower harness, you just have to remove the ECU each service [ you do, do your own servicing? , at $100 an hour you save heaps doing it yourself, and it is easy]
There is an English web site, www.discovery2.co.uk go to workshop, then injector harness. Bob
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

300 000 km, oil in harness, exhaust manifold studs had on going issues with these so put bigger Nissan patrol studs, fuel block.
Vehicle started off its life lugging gear up the ski fields and I tow and carry heavy most days.
I try and service around 10 000 km but regularly do 20000 between servicing.
Still running beautifully
Thread dredge here. It's 11 years since I started this thread.
Still got the same car.. it's up to 120k now. It generally has had very few issues in the engine department (TOUCH WOOD). That I can think of.. had the Valve block replaced recently.. the only fail to proceed was due to a ECU relay in 2011. It's had the modified wiring loom. I replaced the MAF earlier in the year and that made it go like a rocket ship.
Much to a mate's disgust.. on a recent trip it consistently returned better fuel consumption than his new Puma 90, despite being in a bigger and heavier loaded car.
I've found it really does love the good stuff though .. full synthetic and BP ultimate are it's favourites. With these two it's good for 10.5 l/100 in fully loaded touring!
All up it's been a good motor. The only wish I'd have would be for a little bit quieter..

Nanocom, D2 TD5 only.
These days I pretty much ride my pushbike everywhere I need to go, and the wife drives the shopping trolley around. So, for the most part the Defender sits in the garage unused unless we are going away. For example, since we came back from a trip at easter... It's done 180k since then.. I guess 60k was out to the mechanic and back.
So, I make sure I put the anti fungus stuff in the fuel, and I leave it hooked up to a trickle charger.

Mine did 105K in eight yrs and i thought it was low mileage.
In fact one year we did more K's on one trip than the vehicle had done for the total year before.
If the stuff that hangs off the TD5 was as good as the TD5 itself,it would be a brilliant engine.
Mine used less fuel than the D4 ever does.
Should never have sold it,was one of the last of the D2a's.
