Driving up the A1 I noticed the odometer had just gone through the 100K mile barrier. I pulled in the next lay-by to take a commemorative picture for the record. (A1 north, opposite Woolfox Lodge, nr Stretton)

Bill, previous owner used it for business, clocking up 25K pa. Something to do with luxury conservatories up in the north east. (Have services recorded at Stratstone Stockton on Tees). I generally do about 10K pa but recently just returned from a 2,900 mile caravan holiday to Denmark/Sweden/Norway. Pity about the Halewood trip, I have a prior engagement or I would be there with you. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

My wife's 07 plate has 97,000 miles on it!! I'm always complaining as she does around 20k miles/year and around 15k of that is travelling from home to go shopping every day! As she only works one day a week! In a week she will generally go shopping in Leicester...Milton Keynes....Birmingham ...Coventry....Northampton....Sheffield....seriously!!

Sorry about that, Hoss. You can see my fuel consumption records if you click the "pump" in my sig. The manual is a little better than the auto, but later (09 on) models have the 4th generation Haldex which offers better economy. Even later stop/start models better again. But hey, what the hell, who bought a Land Rover for fuel economy?

Thanks John. As one of the prime costs of motoring is depreciation - and to change the car there is also the "hidden" cost of dealer profit, it may well make sense to drive it until it "drops". Ok, my fuel consumption is greater than a later model, but at 10-15K p.a., it is not a great cost in the scale of things. I have been given the chance of a 59 plate FSH low mileage on private sale only today, but I think I will pass and keep this one. I like Rimini red anyway!

Hi dunkley, I have 2008 FL2 with now 120k on the clock and are you sure you haven't got my service history log...mine is almost identical in items of replaced bits it's uncanny even down to the mileage on the tailgate latch! I have also just done my cambelt...I know they say 150k but the dealer was already in there replacing the alternator clutch as it was seized so it made sense to do it! |
