200 tdi will be of an age that used electrical bullet connections maintainance includes cleaning and putting silicone grease in. Chassis maintainance includes cleaning off mud from the top of the front outriggers and wax oil or rust proofing other areas.

 

Basic stuff on any motor really. Landrover always get slagged; they are a tractor, a work horse and if looked after will last 30 plus years. They were never built for or intended for comfort and just like any other piece of mechanical engineering, if you run them with no maintainance eventually they'll bust

Hi Jon, once my 300tdi is warm she still pulls well. Not that great when she is cold. Have not got round yet of blanking off the EGR yet still in the bag!

Not to sure mate, I have had a ton in back and pulls chipper at same time and is fine. Think 2 ton trailer as well might be a bit too much?

I have had 4 tons of additional weight on my landrover today- in my experience its not necessarily how much weight you are towing but how hard you push it. I don't force anything with mine for example with long uphill drags I just select a nice comfortable low gear where I don't have to have my foot to the floor to keep it going and just chog my way up- yes it might only do 20mph up a hill with 3 tons on but my tractor wouldn't do it any faster either. I agree, maintenance is key and just being in tune with your motor.
