mileage

[bushcraft]

what mileage does your car have ?

I have 85,400 & going strong (& so it should) I am expecting 200k before any serious work , & service her (oil/filters) every 6-8k

what can i expect ? do we have any intergalactic mileages ??:thumbs

126k at 13 yr old, seen t2/mav do 200k+, old patrols 400k+.

162,000 from new on a 99-plate T2 2.7TDi - auto gearbox went AWOL around 120,000, not cheap to fix, but engine running like a sewing machine......always serviced it regularly, especially oil changes, and used either Millers DieselPower Plus or acetone regularly. Several other Welsh 160k-milers who will be on here bragging in a minute LOL...

Mines a T2 petrol.

200,000 miles and still going strong.

As oft repeated, the base engine (without turbo obviously) is the same as put in London taxis - the Fairway I think with a 3-speed auto box with overdrive - they regularly clock up 300k-400k miles and more and I see recently that to comply with emissions control in London some specialists are offering a service that converts the Nissan diesel to a spark ignition petrol!! How is that for recycling - mind you, at £5000 a pop.....

At least that many again? Suggest when you sell it with only 88k on it there will be plenty of buyers on here happy to take it another 150k at least!
