81K. About to have the head gaskets done, as well as a new radiator (the shop had one on their hands from a previous job and just wanted to get rid of it, so I got a great deal), and oil pump. While at it we are gonna switch out the dexcool to normal coolant.
I have about 219,000 On my disco II I was wondering how many DII are out there with over 200,000 miles.
I have done the hi mileage service and head gaskets are good, There is a small xfer case leak and a coolant leak up front ( maybe a hose?)
She needs tires shocks springs ss brake lines . going to seal up the sunroofs tried a couple of times to stop leaking.
Aside from all that is there anything else that must be done? I have done the front propshaft.
I have read about the engine probably needs major work but its running good not making any ticks or knocks. ( ticks a bit when first started cold.) Probably won't do that yet.
I would like to hear from some of you how many miles etc. I am try to decide whether to keep her or let her go.

Just over 134K miles on my (new to me) 2003 SE7. I've only had it a month but there are already a few new oil stains in the driveway.
So far I have replaced Crank Position Sensor and switched to Rotella 15w-40 oil. It is definitely quieter with the Rotella. Temps on the Ultra-Gauge run 194-208F. Just ordered 180F warm-weather stat (the grey one) and now looking at replacing tires, shocks, springs, etc.

I must have done something right There is only 1 other post on here over 200K.
aren't there any more out there?
I think I have decided to keep her, get it back in shape ( tires shocks springs brake lines plugs wires if needed and at least have it around a few more years.
We have taken it to Mexico, Maine, Up the Pacific coast highway, Across the desert and only once it didn't start. due to a bad relay. Jumped it out and drove back to Ky. from Creel Mexico. Major maintenance was done at 100,000 and now at 200,000 we will see what happens at 300,000 if I and or the the truck makes it. This is interesting so far. I hope it keeps going for awhile.
