ANY COSSIE'S WITH NO ENGINE REBUILD'S
MY 4X4 IS JUST ABOUT TO DO 110.000 AND IT HAS NOT HAD A REBUILD (BLOWN UP) YET, AS IT HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND HAS THE OBVIOUS GROUP A HEAD GASKET AND ALL THE HEALTHY ENGINE MODS.
TELL ME IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS A BIGEER MILLAGE ON THERE NONE ENGINE REBUILT (BLOWN UP) COSSIE AS I HAVE BEEN THINKING IS THERE ANY BIGGER THAN MINE FOR A WHILE AS THEY USUALLY HAVE A REBUILD AROUND 70.000 MILES, DONT THEY.
ALL COSSIE'S APPLY BY THE WAY.
MANY THANKS

My 4x4's on 134,000 on original engine as far as I can tell. I did have the head reconditioned after my cambelt lost teeth, so I have 16 new valves, guides, etc... but the bottom end is definitely original.
Stage 1, showing around 250bhp on the rollers so I guess she's probably a little tired.

Mine is on 195.000 km and the only reason it not 230.000 km is that I have changed the headgasket and had some electrical problems the last 1˝ year.
oilconsumption is about 1 litre per. 1000 km.
the last 5 years it have had 300 bhp..It is 350+ now

My cossie is running standard bottom end. Its got about 108,000 mile on it. Ive got an invoice which is from 1999 and it had a top end(cylinder head) rebuild and fingers crossed its running ok. It uses a bit of oil but the coolent level never moves.Touch wood.
