whats the highest mileage VR4 out there?? (and whats been needed done to the car to see it through to mega mileage??? - apart from loadsa petrol!!! ;) )
i'm 47,000 miles on a 2001 model
48,000 miles on a 1998 saloon
About 97k miles on a late '98 saloon. Apart from regular servicing (to manufacturer's spec), stuff like brake pads, tyres, etc., and stuff I've replaced myself (wheels, brakes, exhaust) it has needed:
@ ~36k/3yr11mth : track-rod ends (under warranty)
@ ~42k/4yr01mth : torque-converter seal (under warranty)
@ ~53k/4yr06mth : steering arms (under warranty)
@ ~86k/5yr08mth : head gaskets/valve stem oil seals
Cheers,
Brian
:topic: Sorry to butt in but Brian I see you changed your valve stem oil seals at 86k, where you getting black smoke coming out intermitantly before you changed them ?
This thread has some interesting mileages.
I am currently on three weeks, and about 800 miles, but the car has done about 90k - it is an early legnum.
Must be around the same as Nick, about 3 weeks.
Just coming up on 4K.... :eek:
Car is just over 80K/5y.o.

I hadn't noticed it but the technician who was doing the heads for me suggested that the valve stem oil seals be replaced while the heads were off. He said he'd noticed some oil smoke before he did the work. I guess the seals cost buttons in comparison to the work that was done so happy enough to have them done at the same time. I don't think I'd have had the heads off just to do these seals though - 24 hours labour :stunned: for the work I had done, and that didn't include skimming the heads which was done by a local engineer. Also, the head gasket set was £324 + VAT :(Quote:

I was just wondering who has the highest mileage on their clock?

So, a year later and car is now at 107K.....Quote:

Lower Arms (as part of the 90K super-service)
Not too bad, on the consumables front;
2 sets of Eagle F1s (2nd set in storage now, winter tyres at the mo.)
1 set P6000s..... which were on the car when I got it.
1 set pads front
1 set pads & disks front and rear
