210,000 miles has been done in my rover 620. Admitedly it isnt a 4x4 or the same engine as i went through a deep ford 4 years ago and got water in the engine and blew out pistons, it has had a replacment gearbox about 2k miles ago but it is still brilliant and has passed 5 out of the 6 mot's first time. It is due for another mot on monday week and I know it will fail as the aedvisories from last year still havent been done! They maybe fine and pass who knows?

But even so most of the running gear has been changed so its a new vehicle really. My target mileage is 250,000 now.

worth nothing but as reliable as I can get and tow my large caravan wonderfully except on a wet grassy camp site, but now I have the disco that will do some of the towing.

My Hilux Surf 3.0L TD is at 170,000 now. As far as I can tell it's all original engine and running gear appart from wheel bearings and the like.

It's just started to drip oil and doesn't sound as smooth as it used to 3 years and 60,000 miles ago. Might be due for a re-build soon?

Hi, not a 4x4 either but my Citroen Xantia diesel has done over 300.000 miles and is still on the original clutch (on its last legs though!)

The only thing that ever broke was the gearselectormechanism. Oh and the exhaust fell off last month.....

Back to 4x4's: I've just put a 280K Merc diesel in my G-wagen, this engine is not reconditioned and still runs fine and as I won't be doing huge mileages I am hoping it will continue to run...

regards

G.
