Frank,
Last timing belt was at 70k, in 1998. I reckon replacement is due very,
very, shortly...
Can you please be more specific about the plugs? I didn't think my radiator
had a drain plug, and am unsure about the one near the turbo. Are Land Rover
upgraded parts available, or should I buy generic parts?
TIA,
Tim McD

you haven't mentioned a timing belt change, Tim. Trust you've been doing
them?
We've identified a problem here in the UK with the plastic radiator plug,
and another, in the water system just above and to one side of the Turbo.
These wear and pop out. It's a good idea to change these.
Otherwise the Tdi is like any other diesel engine. Thrives on being used and
is good for 250,000.
Best Cheers
