2.8 TDs with very high kms?

[4ePajero]

On our local forum there is a thread listing potential problems on the 4m40 (2.8 TD) engine.

The statement was made that they never reach high kms without problems.

I say that's hogwash.

Please tell me about your high (trouble free) km 2.8, please.

my 2.8 has 186,000 on it and its awesome.

i know it has had a turbo and atleast 2 alternators. but its been fine, and everything works as it should.

rapidly approaching 160,000 miles still running sweet    regular oil changes and servicing is the key.

Thanks so far. Keep them coming!

Mines done 100,000, Radaitaor problems, Air con leaks, Transmission Oil was BLACK, never changed.... Manifold got ickle crack, Courtesy lights last about a week, back door stuck (read threads and ended up taking inside panels off and WD400 thats 10 tins). N/S CV boot needs replacing, Boot full of "things that won't fit in me shed cos its full", oh and the tyres are wearing.....but I hear that is a common problem Oh also had a replacement Turbo, Aerial...... erm I am sure there is more, but to be honest, I still Lurve me Paj

My air con pump has packed in, nothing to do with the engine though, still strong at 146000, doesn't burn hardly any oil, oh and a water pump needed replacing, in 4.5 years didn't think thats too bad (touches 2x2 bit of timber)

Mine's done approx 156,000  kms and so far I've not had any major problems. Few little niggles that TT has been good enough to sort out for me. Handbrake's still playing up and I have a rattle coming from underneath, drivers side, but there appears to be nothing loose so don't know what that is.

Otherwise it starts and drives sweet as

Mine's done 141000kms runs a treat, only time will tell.

  I hope not! 

[TinyTim]

       Will sort that rattle when its up on axle stands for the lifts

Thought i had it cos the rad shrould was broken but have removed that and still does it

And the handbarke needs new shoes

My big gal, is having lots of work done, but then she will be spot on, apart from an axle clonk changeing gears!
1995 2.8 gls, so far total cost of repairs  £1300, and only had it six weeks 
Then it's down to me to make sure it's looked after, for instance a radiator flush every year, and regular oil and filter change.

Monty's done 128,000 and doesn't use oil, doesn't leak, doesn't break down, doesn't do anything wrong! except... bloody rear slider pins in the calipers... but that's nought to do with the engine!
