Greyman 28,501 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 As a little aside from how good they are and how much it’s worth another consideration is how much longer old diesels will be tolerated on the roads, already band in London and many other councils are trying to follow suite and as it raises money from motorists it will be spreading rapidly over the next year or two 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally it wouldn’t bother me to have a 100k miles round the motor if it had a few bills with it......let’s face it, at 100k miles most of the things that are going to go wrong have gone wrong and been fixed. Properly serviced it would still be good for another 100k and you have five and a half grand in your bin to have a mechanic go right through it with a fine tooth comb and bring any little thing right upto scratch. You’d have a top class 4track for £3500? job done. Feck me mate most jap stuff ain’t even run in at 100k I,d expect 200 without a service I no people with land cruisers on 500/750 k on the clock and still better than most new gear, just drill a few holes along the chassis and pour your old engine oil inside as the japs ain’t very clever on the old rust protection and it will go on for years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
