Disco 2.5 Tdi ES - a good buy?

[Tonyrec]

Im hopefully going to purchase a 95 Disco Tdi ES in a nice dark green metallic. Its low mileage and looks mint.

Any ideas about what are the known problems?

I had some useful replies to a similar question a white back.

In the end bought a '95 300 TDi 90 CSW and haven't regretted it. Needed a few repairs in 7K miles (Brake pads all round, prop shaft universal joint, and Power steering hose) managed to do all the work myself and it's the easiest vehicle I've ever worked on.
