Head Gasket went at 71k - this is normal apparently, Clutch went at 67k - the Valeo clutch is too weak for the Tdi - changed it to a Borg & Beck.
Otherwise I've had it 5 years with little problem - same reliability as my VW Polo. Ensure that you service it at the correct intervals.
Excellent Off-road - I competed in trials with it. Very good cruiser, drove from Plymouth to Glasgow via Rugby on one tank of fuel. Find a good independant specialist garage - cheap parts and sound advice at a good price eg £18/hr, LR agent £38/hr + VAT.
The reason the Clutch went out is because you have competed in Trials.
