some of these high milage frontys must have had a few oil changes !
If you change it as some say every 3,000 miles then some may have spent days waiting for the old oil to drain ?

375,145 Kilometres (quick google) that's 233,140 miles.
My previous post was wrong.
Think I did the conversion backwards; Hic.

If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.

Ahh, an 'N' plate with a mere 149k here. But I do something like 3k a month in it so that will soon go up.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

230000 on second fuel pump now going like a train !
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

The 2.4 is only on about 75k, not bad for a K plate. Not going to go up much either now it works in the woods. Only does about 200 yards a month now, bit of a waste of a one owner vehicle with new suspension and brakes alround, still mot'ed until november

140,000 (ish)
Sounds like it's about to fall apart but, it just keeps on going. (despite the driver)
Not bad for a 19 year old bus!
Wish it had come with some service history though. Might give me some idea what's been cocked-up on it in the past!

135k on one 2.8, and 160k on the other IIRC...
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!
Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!
