General Comments
Don't touch a Land Rover Discovery TD5 GS- Land Rover consider it acceptable for these engines to last only 60 000 miles - they know there is a problem many early Td5's are now failing just as they pass beyond the four year mark.
Mine was serviced more regularly than required by Land Rover and did not lead a particularly arduous life.
