The 300TDi was made in Brazil for several years after it stopped being an option over here, engines were shipped over for RoW & MOD spec vehicles. It was also available as a LR Genuine Parts re-power kit and I believe production was finally stopped in about 2006 (I had one of these kits fitted into my 90 in 2004 and I recall reading in one of the magazines a couple of years later that production had finally been halted).
As there are still a large number of users of the 300TDi (including fleet / MOD) I should imagine spares will be in good supply for some time yet.
This was my RoW spec 300TDi straight out of the crate.

That's just pornographic
Defenders will literally be around for the years with no effort and if they are still around so will the parts to keep them going.
Thankfully people seem to have gotten over the end of production mania that was putting prices skywards.
Cant be many 200/300 owners who dont have spare engine parts incl heads and inj pumps?

Mate for life, also could be a shrewd move financially wise.

Well said Landy brothers!
Yet I can recall seeing not so long ago an actual company casting / forging the engine from scratch and selling them from their website. Spare parts is good, but I want to own my defender until I shuffle off this mortal coil and I'm a young dude!
