Yes, yes, yes.

Good engine for 50K miles then a waste of time IMHO.

If you get a vehicle with one in it, run it as long as possible then be prepared to change it for something else.

You won't put out my bonfire.   If you have found a TD that goes as well as a Tdi, then you either have a remarkable TD engine or a completely shot Tdi...  even on paper they are totally different.

My experience with (many) TDs has been that they will fail.... it is just a question of when.

Xtremeteam:
the tdi i have has done 40k from a full rebuild by turners i think & the td came out a scrapped 110 that had a rotten chassis,im as surprised as you but it did make me question whether it was worth laying out the £600 for the tdi when i got a pair of td's for a lot less

JD LWB:
Another good TD here. :D

My step-grandad has had 1 for the last several years in his 110.

It's done lots of miles (150k plus i think) and has never put a foot wrong.

He services it regularly (oil, filters etc) and has had a new cambelt put on it.

It is the original engine before anyone asks.

I think if you look after them properly, they should run forever.

I wouldn't hesitate to get 1 (very nearly did for our Lightweight)
