Keep those details coming in on the reliability survey (about 15 postings before this one). I'm getting some really interesting results and will publish soon.

My Dad's (owned from new) 1961 Series IIa 2.25 petrol made 270,000 miles before a rebuild and has done another 100,000 or so since then. It's also had 2 halfshafts (and only 2), a gearbox mainshaft and 1 set of swivels in that time.

2000 Disco II TD5 owned from new. Still only 34,000 miles but has had: Major coolant leak on day 2 - hose under plastic engine cover not tight. Alarm/immobilizer packed up day 6 (locked out and wouldn't un-immobilize) - new unit. Clutch judder developed day 18 - no fault found "it's just new sir". Drivers window inop (and open) 3 months - new electro-mechanism. Clutch still juddering - no fault found. Front speakers packed up 4 months Turbo packed up 9 months Windscreen single vertical crack top to bottom driver side (appeared over night) 11 months Clutch still juddering - no fault found "we don't want to split the casings unless absolutely necessary sir" Throttle not operating properly (intermittent sticking open or not opening). Clutch still juddering - "our engineers have driven it and can't find the problem" Brakes vague rear calipers not working, discs badly corroded - all new discs calipers and magic thing. Clutch *still* juddering and now taking up in first with a thump - finally got a new clutch and flywheel. It only took 23 months!
Since then, fingers crossed, she's been fine (now approaching 4½ years old). You've got to love 'em to keep 'em!
