I just wondered what you can expect out of the different engine options

Hope this works guys :?

[JamesH]

115k on my 4.0l and engine still as strong as ever (ancillaries dying at the moment though)

105k om my Dad's 2.5 petrol XJ and still strong.

[Dave69]

127k on my 4ltr,  and the diesel i owned died big style at 140k

[Mike Pavelin]

249500 miles in my 4.0, but had a new short motor at a mere 240000.

[Bubba]

i had a cj that did 270000 miles with no probs then it holed a piston going to devon i removed the spark plug and pushrods to that cylinder and we caryed on when we got back i put a second hand piston in and all new rings i had to sell it about a year later and it was still running well. tired but well

[greggmo]

my 2.5 yj is now on 125 and dont use a drop of oil, though i do change the oil twice a year at the least and i dont do a lot of miles in a year.

[bobbin]

xj has done 93000,no probs,runs as sweet as a nut  

[Sam]

136,000  on my 98 diesel  XJ and still runs perfectly like a new un. never had even  the slightest prob with anything engine related

[monkeybiz]

130k on the 2.5 yj and she is sweet as a nut, slight bottom end knock but they all seem to have that

my xj had 150k, my 4 year old zj had 140k when i sold it

my rangie 128k and 2 rebuilds!!!!!

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

[daggie]

126k on the 2five grand , over heating,burning oil, no power etc
just over 120k on the xj & all is sweet

[alcoholicmaggot]

78000 on my 95 xj and runs like new

[tedthefed]

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.
