only issue ive noticed is she drips a little oil , but pretty sure its either sump or front crank seal which i will replace so not to shabby for the millage which is why i cant bear to part with it .

« on: 25 August 2016, 17:02:20 »Yep, they just go on and on, seemingly indefinitely. The super-high-mileage maladies/things that need doing seem to be
oil changes on the box and diff
crank seal
oil pickup clogged
fried old crank sensor
ABS ECU
these are things that can/should be worked on much earlier of course, but these are the things that tend to occur at the stratospheric end of the mileage spectrum. But as for the engines 'just dying' through being completely worn out, it doesn't seem to be an issue. No wheezy valves, low compression ratio, cracked blocks, warped heads, stuffed manifolds all the things that many engines fail on through the natural wastage of time. In spite of being not brilliant for tuning, and known to be a bit 'boring' they're racking up the miles very very well in the twighlight years when many a contemporary engines are dying around them...
im going to replace all the seals and gaskets whenits removed from the car , its also still got the original oil cooler still in the engine too

ive got a mini facelift 2000 mv6 3.0 in antelope mica , its done 180,000 just motd got lpg and irmscher bumpers and full heated leather , though the doors have bubbled through and both rear arches are going , so my question to the good people on here is it worth anything ,i know the other year it took a few months to find a spare set mv6 wheels so i could have winter tyres on them and normal on my other standard mv6 wheels
thank you in advance
