How many miles on the engine?

How many miles on the engine?

 

Not many you cant afford to go far at 14 mpg:biggrin:

[18 stoner]

I wish mine did 14!:lol:

 

If its just rumbling around its about 11 or 12, if its towing, or you boot it, its 8 or 9.

 

If its towing and you boot it, well.................

[armchairarborist]

dunno about engine miles but its injected and on a four speed rangie box so top speed is erm a tad loud:001_tt2:

[18 stoner]

You think he would split it?

 

Sounds like its been a conversion so the gear stick will be nearer the back seats than the front ones! Lol!

[armchairarborist]

probably not, he just wants a different toy till he's bored of it, i used it more than him this year (250miles) but if you want an injected rover v8 im sure my mate has one lying around somewhere, he just put a 3.9 auto in his 101, and only runs v8's in his defenders.

[18 stoner]

It would be the 3.9 I would want, well just because i would! Lol!

 

Mine is an origional V8 station wagon, so has the 5 speed 380 gearbox on it, so it will slot straight in.

 

Might be worth bearing in mind at some point, cheers.

My Landcruiser does just uner 20mpg towing 3 tonne but get on hilly lanes less than 10 and I dread to think how much less. Its cheaper to go at right angles across the country sometimes.

How old is it Steve ?

 

I got to Gravesend and back from huddersfield on a tankfull in my landcruiser, towing a bike trailer empty down there and with a small motorbike back up, so there was a little bit of drag.

 

I brimmed the tank as much as it would take and it was on fumes when I got back

[Dean Lofthouse]

Might be a tad controversial here and get some peoples backs up but...

 

If people didn't expect too much, they would pay so much tax

 

They expect the roads to be salted, even the little culdesacs

 

They expect the pavements to be salted or they sue

 

They sue if a paving flag sits up more than a few millimeters

 

My local NHS paid out £5m in compensation in the last year to something like 90 cases with another 100 and odd case still outstanding

 

People moan and whinge to local councils like there's no tomorrow. I bet a huge chunk of the councils budget goes on satisfying the whingers.

 

Another huge chunk of their budget will go on backside covering to prevent claims.

 

A huge chunk of the governments budget goes on spongers who would rather claim benefit because they are "better off on benefit" and would have to take a drop in income to be employed. How arrogant and selfish is that !!

 

I reckon 50% of the uk population either want a kick up the backside or taking to the vets and putting down, that way it would relieve the burden on the rest of us
