One thought. Did they never fix the cam belt problem on the later TDi,
similar to the introduction of the transfer gear oiling type device
(precise huh...) Or am I being optimisitic

It's rumoured that the later ones are better. The various mods got
incorporated in the build of the engine, I think.
what year was yours again?

I hope you didn't pay more for it? Waste of money, them things - I was daft
enough to buy one on a car once; extra 150 quid on the price and when you
read the small print, there are that many get-outs that I doubt it's
actually possible to claim anything from it.

I used to run about 32-34 all round in the 110, but that had bog fat tyres
(31x10.5R15). With normal tyres, I expect something a few pounds higher if
anything. Don't be fooled by the manual saying 28 in the front ones - IME,
with 110 and disco (the latter both diesel and petrol) is that the only
advantage in this is a marginally softer ride - the tyres wear unevenly and
it creates more drag, though.
recently-replaced front tyres on my disco had been run at 36, and wore just
about as evenly as any I've seen on an LR vehicle.

86? It's 96 in some parts of Norfolk! Costs me about 50 squids for the
average fill up but I don't run to completely empty.
BTW don't forget to grease yer nipples occasionally. ( On the propshafts
that is)
