Hey there,
My 92 EB Fairmont has done 278,000km and seems to be in fairly good nick. I was just wondering what some other cars have done in terms of mileage and the kind of work that may need to be done in the future.... Cheers. |

my ef runs pretty good at 270,000...
idles well, no major leaks/cracks, stock suspention is getting a little bouncy in the rear, but im getting it lowered soon anyway so im not fussed. still got good power from the engine, transmission is okay, the radiator blew a couple of months ago, but that was the one from the factory (10 years old) so overall im pretty happy. |

My XG ute has 199,551 on the clock ... odometer has stopped though ... not sure how long ago though.
I have a new odometer/trip meter to put in though ... but there is no leaks on the engine or gearbox ... is very smooth to drive ... still has a heap of power behind it ... and not too bad on fuel (just did Canberra and back to Sydney the other day with a bit of driving around the ACT as well). I reckon I did somewhere between 600-700km on the day ... I filled up before I went ... and filled when I got back .. I cold only get 52L in the tank after the trip ... so economy was pretty good.

I sold my EF GLi with 256,000ks on it and it was running awesome. I wish I never sold it.

I bought my 1988 EA in 1999 and the clock said 265,000km. The log book said it got to 220,000km in 1992 & right now the speedo says 270,400km after 6 years & never having a day standing still in the driveway since then 1999.... (?? 5,400km in 5 years...???... NOT!!)
The speedo itself works but it hasn't recorded a TRUE km since 1992. My sums at 20,000km a year (VERY light for me) makes a total of 260,000 plus 270,400 totalling 530,000km. She runs "smoky" (see other post) & has done 1 head gasket since I've had her, new clutch a month ago & next Moday is having a diff seal fixed.... other than that (touching wood) she's a terrific car. This may not HELP with tips, but to me it's testemant that these cars just "Keep on going". Regular tune-ups, weekly fluid checks & "Optimax" fule.... keeps my old girl going!

Well ... look at the taxis out there ... they rack up so many km ... have heard of these engines hitting the 1 million km mark without a rebuild. If regularly serviced ... and not thrashed all of the time ... it will last a long time.

My old EL had 270, 000. I knew the cars history since new, and in that time it had only broken down once. In the time I had it, all I had to repair was a relay for the brake lights and routine matinence. It still felt very good when I sold it.

1989 EA with 230'000kms, and all that needed fixing to this date has been alternator, universals, and very recently, the transmission fluid all leaked out! I haven't driven it in 3 months, and its seems that the 'transmission extension housing' seal is rooted, according to the big puddle of fluid, and gregory book.
