Ahh JC... btw, whats the fire ring?
Graeme, you may need to replace the bolts as they're tightened to yeild.

Last response to this thread was in 2008.
Mine has done 290,000 & ATM fitting new head, water pump, oil cooler orings/gasket, full hose set.
Doesn't use/burn any oil either between services, "touch wood"
Hoping to get a alot more kms yet...
Must be some TD5's with high kms now surely
Just coming up to 330K.Usual things like fuel regs, Slight head gasket leak,Recon head at 300Ks. Number of radiators,never overheated though!,water pump, fuel cooler leak repair, new starter motor some time ago and reco.alternator,all some time ago.
Regularly maintained,Still goes very well,no oil usage except some slight engine leaks next to be seen to.
Some outback trips but no heavy towing and no extreme offroading.
Trev.
DiscoDB is upwards of 450k on his :) Posts quite regularly.
Bob10 and Yorkie are both in the high 3s.
Just as a side note to this thread.......... the 350 in my POS has done about 600,000 since its last reco.
Couple of water pumps and starter motors under my stewardship (300,000) and that's it. 100 - 120 a pop each time. On gas 99% of the time.
Full reco been quoted at 3 to 3.5k, but it still doesn't really need it.
TD5's are good to tow with and I'm sure some have done lots of k's.

You must have been having the same thoughts as myself (but I bumped an older thread on the same topic just yesterday to see if any of the original posters were still going). See topic Td5 Engine Life.Quote:

466k now - still original motor including head and turbo. Replaced the cooling system as a proactive job. Drive train is all original except for clutch/flywheel at 350k, and one wheel bearing hub assembly around 400k or so. Not expecting the gearbox to make it to 500k.
Had all the usual suspects (fuel lines, pump, regulator etc etc).
Really interested though to hear from others who have passed the 500k or even much higher.
Of course I am working on justifying the D3 or 4 upgrade but the more the D2 keeps going and the more I do proactively the more I want to keep it and find out how long it will go.
About 410,000kms for mine. 1999 Def. Not sure what work it has had done prior to me. I know it had a head gasket.
