I have a mk 1 300tdi disco and it's not skipped a beat! Just look after it (regular servicing, not just engine but transmission as well) and it will be as reliable and any other 4x4 if not more so!

Thats the mk1 I had a 300tdi and it was faultless same can't be said fot the mk2/3/4.

 

We had 3 300tdi over about 8 years for towing. They all suffered with head gasket failure between pots 3 and 4, cambelts snapping and water pumps were cheap and nasty with one little bearing. Every time they needed discs the bearings had to come off and no guts for towing at 70mph. Saying that I towed over 300k between them and felt they were still a good truck at the time dont be afraid of getting a td5 if its genuine.

 

Our TD5 has now done 160k without any major engine work. If you get a good one and look after it they are a good truck. Get a bad one that has been abused or cooked then you are in big trouble. The void bushes are far better and the discs are knock on knock off so 1 hr and £50 for a pair.

The speed limit for towing is 60 mph so point not really valid !
