This is my company car, still going strong, uses about 1 litre of oil every 6000 miles, still returns over 40 MPG and does 115MPH flatout.....LOL
This picture is a few weeks old, the car has NOW DONE 457.000 miles





Steve

 

fuck me my old 2litre tranny did 520,000 but it was g reg . ffs man when did you start doing trips to the moon

 

Would love to see the guys face when you took that in for a service!

Service: "How can I help you sir"

Steve: I'm coming in for a 457,000 mile service

 

I thought a 1000 miles in 2 day was bad.

 

Fook me thats been round the block several times, like a coulpe of women i know

 

 

 

 

Jeez, what do you do with it ? Stick it on axle stands and run it at 100MPH all day long ?

Are there any roads in this country you haven't driven on ?

 

thats nowt when i wer on the buses, had a "new" one delivered to us, with 250k on the clock (new to us from a diff depot) and when we sent it back 2 years later, had just short of 900k on the original engine

 

Pretty damn impressive!!!

 

BTW, do you have a Shell Plus points card? If not, get one..........you could have a free trip to the moon by now!!

 

I'll get you Butler!!!

 

Do they have the VW diesel engine or the ford one?

a;lex

 

j871yhk,
its on its 2nd engine, the first engine went bang at 190.00 miles, the present engine was from Heathrow engine centre, and cost £500 fitted, and as you can see its still going.
I have a necter card and its filling up nicely..........LOL

vorsprung durch technik

 

and they say hondas are the most reliable over long milage

 

i would have jap stuff over german any day - the machining tolerances are so much finer.

note it's the second engine - not so remarkable in that case, especially for a diesel.

 

When the time comes, I wonder if any prospective buyers will ask if the mileage is genuine?

 

anyone remember victor kiam????? you know the dude who like the shaver so much he bought the company.................

saw a prog bout him on some shiity late night thing,he had a limo that he was driven everywhere in it the fookin limo had 4,000,000 miles on the clock

 

Limo's have big V8's though, which have hardly any stress put on them (esecially in a limo ) I once heard taht with regular oil changes and cam belt etc V8's would last for ages and ages, but 4 million

 

Fook me thats a lot!! do you have time to drive anything else??

 

That must be the first reliable engine from Heathrow Engine Centre I've ever heard about then.

 

get that bus out!

 

Yup, my old mans old G reg 2litre Cavalier did 498,000 before he sold it - yes SOLD it and it still ran fine Sat for 6mths still, then we charged the battery turned the key and one tick and it was idling like a purring kitten

 

i was just thinking that my self as i bro had a engine off them and i was having all sort of problems

 

Mums 2 litre DOHC Sierra has just passed 400,000 miles, on its 3rd engine and has the shit ragged out of it everywhere

 

my mates van , ( toyota Hiace ) has approx 950,000 on it ,

fookin speedo packed up at 850,000

 

fook

 

arr not surprising its on a new engine...

you get transits doing that sort of mileage all the time on the same engine and box!

alex

 

But not so impressive if its had engine change.


Always remember one of the old Rolls Royces and i mean 1920's 30's it went to India etc and back with british diplomate and covered 1 million miles on original engine and that was back then on one of those fookin old cars!!!!!!! Sod that

Will see if i can find some info on the web about it.

 

i wanna see the steering wheel, bet ya could shave in it now

 

my dads old works truck did about 120k in the first year!! fooking merc sprinter thing! never missed a beat!

the mercedes engines are mad, they should have speedos that read in lightyears not fucking miles!
