my old landcruiser 393k everything original and not even down on power. its new owner still commutes with her so god knows what the milage is now but last time i spoke with him the original factory clutch finaly gave out

On Jalopy 4 . 1995 xj  4 litre  this has 136000 miles now  New starter motor the other week but nothing major (ops should not say that)  

On Jalopy 5. 2003 grand O/land, has  34000 miles now  a few probs  since out of warranty but not major.

On Jalopy 6. 2000 xj 4 litre  this has  46400 miles now . Just had major service and nowt noticed .  This will be altered when spare cash arrives ??

So these are all babies in the mileage run of things then........

35000 on my 4.0ltr 98 XJ (no shit) with a FSH. The only problem Ive had was a miniscule oil drip from the metal to rubber pipe from the transfer case but it has since stopped with a Jubilee clip.
