There's been a lot of talk lately about engine failures, bore scoring on 997.1 and 997.2 etc. etc. ........
Some marques can make your nightmares a lot worse and if, like me you happen to own a Land Rover Discovery if you worried about everything that could possibly go wrong you'd never sleep again. For example, to change the glow plugs on the Disco 3 you have to take the body off, so that's probably a 2 day job and a cost of over £2k with a main dealer.....!
This is a list of TDv6 failures that would make your eyes water - from snapping cranks, failed oil pumps, spun bearings to full engine failures:

For a lot of these failures, a new engine is the only solution at a cost of £10k
..... perhaps we've not got it so bad after all..??
