DoctorRetro Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Don't worry, this is the Rover being naughty. Second impromtu stop, M11 Junction of M25. Temp gauge creeping up, pulled over, released air, topped up water. Wait for it to cool, then off again. 28 miles down, 63 to go.

NorthernMonkey Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Is it a LDV beaver tail with a 1.8 k series upgrade so you can use it to transport the Rover back home? The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Must have found the happy medium between tank cap loose and pissing out water as we made it the last 60+ miles in one hit.

Spurious Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 No maybe Malaysian or Korean? Perodua Kelisa? Proton of some sort? It's not a quick car with a Speedo topping off at 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I reckon that is 274k km not miles so I would say an import of some kind....I could be wrong....with a speedo only reaching up to 100mph would say it's a small engined car and then to have done 274k MILES in something small engined like that I would take pity on the driver....so yeh still reckon it's an import of some sort. Appealing to doc because probably not many about. Also top left looks like the left direction arrow from a Mitsubishi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was an import the outer dial would be in km/h too, unless changed of course. Either way it's done moon mileage and should* be reliable. Anyway, it's definitely a Perodua Kelisa speedo.

Crispian_J_Hotson Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It's not a direction arrow but a first aid cross perhaps? Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have NEVER seen a Perodua kelisa with 274k on before unless that top odometer reads tenths of a mile too so is in actual fact only 27k but that would be boring.... 27,445 and 8 tenths of a mile.... But many Peroduas have Daihatsu engines fitted (Daihatsu being of the Toyota family) so in theory could be quite reliable after all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
