Top mileage for a t2

[laurieash]

Just reading about the chap wanting a Xtrail just woundering what is the most mileage that a terrano2 engine has done with no major work done to it apart from normal servicing etc. laurie ash.:thumb2

think iandouglas' is on 180k, this is one of the pre production mk1s as i recall.

sometime ago we had a thread going, might be worth trying a search of
archieve, seem to think there was mention of a t2 at 245k, and an y60
troll at 425k

recall a us site where there were owners of pickups and suvs, might not
all have been nissan which were over a million miles.

have a look at old thread

noting that ian was saying his 93 t2 was on 199k, and that was 3 years
ago....

Extreme has my MkII which currently has well over 210k miles on it.

These engines were put in, I think, the Fairway London taxi and regularly do 300-400k miles up there. Some are even being converted back to spark ignition to meet emissions requirements.

Bottom line is, if a Terrano engine blows up, odds are its because the driver did something stupid.

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

spark ignition, what as in petrol.

sorry confused, arent diesels compression fired?

 

[zippy656]

mine has only 130k. so just run in then !

They were also fitting LPG
Bit like mine really :naughty
Mines done 180k so far and never knowingly in a Miss Daisy stylee :sly

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

ah so diesel becomes petrol.

heard of buses and stuff using the cummins 5.9 td
being adapted to lpg, as in using fully, not as an
addon, so those would have spark too.

suppose if built tough as a diesel then will be very
tough spark engine.

Correct - they are turning them into petrol engines with LPG conversion to be precise.

Read it here (I did post this ages ago).

185K Miles on 03 plate 3.0litre. Not failed MOT yet. Did have an issue 2 years ago with gear box but engine sound.

The misses did say I could have a new motor but this is staying for a while yet :thumbs
