Discovery 4s diesel

As a non owner are any of the diesel discovery 4s immune to potential engine failure. Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks.

Not that I am aware of (but I am sure others will correct if I am wrong) - and to be perfectly honest, no engine is immune to failure either!

I'm guessing he means the spun bearings / crank snap / oil pump triplet. That's a no, the TDV6 2.7, TDV6 3.0 and SDV6 3.0 all susceptible to something. The TDV8 wasn't available in the Discovery but that also has its own problems.

Thanks for the replies.
Good looking useful cars but seemingly a risky buy. Too risky for me anyway.
