Do I win some kind of award for achieving this mileage in a Discovery 3? 

You win a certificate of achievement. But the real high mileage disco award goes to the guy that got over 700k out of his. 3 engines later……

Allison's odometer the other day...

1 of the Landrover Facebook groups I'm on boast about doing a 500 mile trip with no issues....

[Popsicle]

Our trusty old Vectra estate keeps plodding along.

Just checked the dash of my Disco.

Could be total mileage, cost of ownership over 1.1 miles or how many crankshafts it’s had since new, not sure yet 🤔😅

1.1 miles, that's not the trip computer, it's the distance since the engine management light last illuminated 😉

Astra of many MPGs clocked over this milestone last night.

And having seen her, you could comfortably halve that and nobody would bat an eyelid. Don't flog it to Quentin Wilson (allegedly)

[Saabnut]

Not a huge mileage compared to many on this thread but noteworthy. Fortunately I had a passenger* with me to record it.

180k miles is not really unusual, especially for a diesel. But this is an old school 1.5 non turbo diesel fitted in this

I doubt there are many higher mileage AX about.

Sorry, I meant to reply to you much earlier; thankyou very much for your kind comments! 

Mechanically, she's sorted. It would be great to do some cosmetic stuff, but the thing is I don't want to alter the original paint really. 

Every bump and scrape tells a story!

She does need an interior deep clean and an external polish!

The Germanic moneypit couriering Caddy clicked over another 100k the other evening.

He's at it again! 

Great work dude. 

[horriblemercedes]

Just 255k on my 3-Series. Must do better

[bunglebus]

Nice little milestone today - captured by the Mrs as I was driving 

[TheOtherStu]

I tried really really hard to make 200k in the Merc, but I missed it by less than 500 miles.

hopefully, the new owner will be along shortly to join the club 😂

 

The MR2 is only on 150k, but the engine is on less than 70, so should make it.

 

[High Jetter]

Nearly...

Now on the slant:

I know this isn't mega mileage in comparison to many on here, but bear in mind it's 1.3 van that I have driven since a couple of hundred miles under 18k.

Edit: Anyone know what the space to the left of the speedo is designed for?

That slot is for a panini.

Possibly.

After our last high miler cacked it at 210036 miles, this is our new replacement (well over 1.5 years ago). A 2015 that we bought with 76k on the clock. Low mileage to me but some would say it's high for the age. Average for age would be something around the 60k to 80k mark. 

I've tried to cut down the amount of miles we do in it by using the TT more instead - was averaging 15k p/a. Not because worried about value (we'll keep this for another 5-10 years or until it dies) but just increases the 10monthly visits (12.5k service intervals) to my local garage for a service.

200k on my 2007 BMW 535d estate. Not sure if I should do the timing chain or continue to hope that everything will be OK - seems pretty happy at the moment.

I'm more impressed that you managed to get a 1.5D from 0-60mph in one mile. 

[Popsicle]

Couriering Caddy's still rolling along, all the 3's, is that a sextet of 3's or a sixsome?

Scuse the poor pic, Mrs P was with me and it was easier to let her take a crap photo, than get moaned at for me taking a decent pic while driving. I complained about the quality of said pic and had to endure silence for the next few hours, ah bliss....

I wouldn't bother with changing the timing chain. It's pretty much not heard of for that engine to break a chain. Do the chain if it starts rattling, but I think that's very unlikely

Let sleeping dogs lie!

There's a Bulgarian guy on YouTube called Crank that seems to repair a lot of M57 engines, and he's done a few on his channel now - it seems like these later M57s CAN snap the chains without warning at higher milages, but it's nowhere near as common as on the N47/N57. I probably still won't bother unless it gets noisy!

[Spottedlaurel]

We took a family trip out in Miss SL's Avensis SR last night to record this:

Formerly of @BorniteIdentity who did most of the legwork in getting it this far. It gets used for work every day, trying to get it to 300k.

[bunglebus]

You're a few k ahead off me, 277500 at the moment. Also hoping to crack 300k

[Tigerfox]

Thought i was doing well till reading some of the mileages on here.

And yes i can see it needs a clean !
