v6 , whats the highest mileage?
« on: 02 October 2008, 11:28:07 »

Just wondering how far these engines can go with proper servicing and belt changes?

Is there a difference between longevity of 3.0 and 2.5 ?

Are there any monster milers on here?

I bought a 2.0 W plate on 120k and ran it on LPG until 160k and the only fault (apart from wear and tear) was a manifold and cam sensor.  Was stil driving like new when i sold her.  :y

Rust was starting to take a good hold though  :'(
