It wasn't all good. The engine was ok as was the gearbox. The IRD was shot as was the VCU. The IRD was howling and the steering was tugging over the bumps. Needless to say, I walked away.

i never buy with over 70k 0n the clock...as a rule mine had 75 ..2 owners full service

thebluemax · Dec 21, 2015

mine is a 04 plate, done 126k runs sweet, but bought with a recent vcu, new props, and rebuilt rear diff...at about 90k so hope to get a few years out of it. (I had the ird and gearbox oil changed just in case )

I thought rule of thumb was to fix it the day before the next WOF (MOT)

freelanderoig · Dec 21, 2015

freelanderoig · Dec 21, 2015

wow...lot miles by any standards, just had a winter service on mine..so oil an filter had only done 4k

Danclif · Dec 21, 2015

I work in a garage & we have a 53 td4 for sale with 179k on it. Runs & drives spot on still.

freelanderoig · Dec 21, 2015

wonder how many k series engines last that long..only reason i had a td4..was bmw engine and porche gearbox..gertring i think

Danclif · Dec 21, 2015

Not many k series will last that long, certainly not on original gasket in my experience. Not Land Rover related, but I recently hired a Mercedes sprinter with 305k miles on!! Drove like new & was told still original engine, so if a thrashed hire van can do it then a well serviced td4 should too.

freelanderoig · Dec 21, 2015

k series new hg every 40k it seems...poor heads done in on second one...you see lot of bmw saloons..150k plus...
