very rare for problems unless the engine has been overheated or otherwise damaged, I had one that had knock which came in as it got hot and could only be fixed with a new block, never found out what was wrong but it had clearly been hydrauliced at some point and had a bent con rod in the affected cylinder (changing this did not fix it).

Very rare.
It was largely a problem with the later 4.0 & 4.6 engines because Landrover switched to a higher temperature thermostat in a bid to improve emissions, combined with the thinner bore wall behind the liner from the increased 94mm bore.
