I have 126K on a 2000 TD5 auto which I have now owned for just over 3 years in which time I have put 40K on. its been great but the mileage I reckon is starting to tell. just had new steering rods, new suspension compressor, new alternator belt with tensioner and idler fitted. Good bye £900. I do wonder what is going to go next especially as I seem to have developed a slight transmission whine ? Ooooooooooops.
215,000 in my 2000 TD5 manual, had it from 60,000. Original engine but like me all the ancillary bits have seen better days! Replaced the following:
1 radiator
1 ECU
1 engine wiring loom
1 expansion bottle
1 front hub
1 front ABS sensor
1 clutch
1 set of glow plugs
1 fuel pump
1 fuel pressure regulator
1 heater matrix
1 front CV joint
1 headlight
1 front camshaft seal
1 coolant sensor
2 height sensors
2 oil coolers
2 sets of coolant hoses
5 air springs
Thats the bits I can remember! Mass air flow sensor currently disconnected as well as the EGR valve. Also need to purge the fuel system every time before starting but only an issue if I get impatient. Car goes like a rocket now (all relative though) - just under 30 to the gallon on the last long, fully loaded run. Also use 25% cooking oil when its cheap, seems to work well but God knows what it is doing to the internals !

Ours has 127k on the clock, built Nov 98 so quite an early one, registered June 1999.
We've done 36k since we put it back on the road in July 2009.

Mine has just flown past the 212,000 mile mark and still pulls like a train.

251,000 miles on mine. Not had it long, but got loads of dealer history with it. Mabye someday, once I get bored of watching paint dry, I'll get round to reading it in detail.
Waiting for EGR removal kit to arrive, should be here in a day or 2, hopefully wil fix the lack of power below 2000rpm.

I have 145K on my V8 S Reg Disco 2. Its been LPG converted since 105K, and is still running very nicely.
199,783 on my W reg (yr 2000) and it remains by dream car! Drives beautifully and had him from new.
