Talking 210,000 miles and still going

96 Disco 4.0 Gem, about the 5th owner, started out as a Dealer Demo For 4 yrs then Carfax Reported showed atleast 3 auctions on it. Got it as a toy for $2400.00 a year ago which included new brakes, exhaust gaskets replaced and fresh inspection. Changed ALL FLUIDS instantly and change oil every 2500 miles with a can of Restore. Knock on wood she has never given me a problem. Runs strong, shifts sooo smooth its Fn scary and can handle my girls lead foot. It has now become a daily driver instead of a toy because of the fondness that grew for it so quickly.
Good luck with yours

255k on mine. The engine is in rough shape due to severe overheating about 100k ago. Never did anything with it because I was planning on putting in a 2.8 PS but that fell through. Going to drop in the 95k 3.9 and gearbox from my D90 in the next few months.

'98 w 135k but don't consider that high mileage!!!!! In fact, a little disappointed to see miles on d1 being so low, ie. under 150k.

1991 290,000k or 175,000 runs strong, surging but have on order a VSS which I hope does the trip. Solid runner and happy with it.
