Longevity
I went for my MOT this morning and, having replaced a few things that had done 178,000 miles (brake hoses, lines, rear brake cylinder, wheel bearing) it passed.
Also in were a TD5 defender, 42,000miles needing new in tank fuel pump.
Disco TD6 30,000miles needing new steering box.
They don't make 'em like they used to :lol:
Hi Chris makes you feel proud of G' engineering....if the new VED rules keep at 2001 onwards the 460 and the 463 G' should come back into its own......might affect the price though.......
yea and a g400 needing a new gearbox , transfer box and others bits and not even 3yrs old yet, what say u piggy!
Now what was that Army "catch-all" phrase
used when charging a driver for abusing a vehicle
"Neglect, misuse and damage"
I thought it was pretty watertight.
Any comments Piggy?
Well the Engine is sounding a bit rattly now as well and smokey and at 55000 mile you can't expect them to last forever.. :oops:
I've had as PP says new gearbox, transfer box, 4 sets of heater plugs, new EGR valves, new turbo's, voltage distribution board, window regulators, door lock set, starter motor, alternator, battery.
All these parts were needed just because I actually use it off road and for towing.
I guess they're made for taking the kids to school nowadays and not for using..
Should have bought a Nissan..LOL
Guess it's true what they say about G400s....
I think its just me, it happened with my last 2 vehicles...LOL
That's only because you treat it like you stole it...
i have found a job for you...
