Hi There!
This is my first posting on this site so bear with me if it's in the wrong place, or the formatting is all to cock...
I've recently purchased a D-reg 90 (1984?) County 2.5TD. It's the first Land Rover I've ever owned, and hopefully not the last. The engine's done about 150,000 (mostly road) miles and as far as I can tell the previous owner has looked after it really well, both inside the cab, and under the bonnet.
I'd like to maintain the engine in good order, and would like to do my own servicing and maintenance. The problem is that I don't know where to start; I've changed the oil and that's about it.
So I'd like to know what things should be checked/changed regularly in order to maintain a reliable engine, and how frequently these things should be done?
Also: What sort of life span does a 2.5TD engine have? Given that its done around 150,000 miles, can I expect another 25,000 before I need to consider a new engine/vehicle?
Cheers,
Rik
