Milestone?
 
On the way to work tonight I noticed the D3 hit this mile stone.

I guess it is.

Seems like hitting that milestone knocked a bulb out.:)

No other damage I hope.

ScottD3 18th August 2014 08:02 AM

That bulb is stupid.
Its on but still errors. Restart the car and its fine.

Hopefully it will be one soon and all LEDed up.

I'm about to pass 134K in the next few days, so I have a fair bit of catching up to do.

M-A8 18th August 2014 03:56 PM

I'm around 200miles from 150000....and I just sorted my bulb error so there wont be error light in the background :D

Bloody bulb errors all over the place :rolleyes: and just approaching 73,000 miles! :D I suppose for a five year old car that is considered Low mileage for one of these Executive cruisers? :Confused:

Is there such a thing as the Highest Mileage thread?

Regards, Mark.

Will be hitting 70k in 200 miles myself.

Yup.
I was looking at the road and not the phone.
I kept hitting the shutter button and checked them when I got home.

He's already done the equivalent of 8.79 times, I think once he's posted his picture of his speedo he can have the glory of the top spot until the next challenger posts their picture showing higher :D

1) Snapdragon - 219,000 (Unconfirmed)
2) Scott - 160,000 - Confirmed
3) M-A8 - 149,800 - Unconfirmed)

Come on lads, it's a digital age so a photo to confirm these claims should be no problem +++

On a flip side to this, there is also the possibility of doing the same with the lowest mileage on a D2 and a D3, thought seeing as I can't win the highest mileage contest that I'd try and get myself on the leader board for that instead. :p

Regards, Mark.

I sold my D2 with 191,000 miles on it. The car is still running well, and I am hoping will be at ADI in October.

Not sure on the mileage now, but its been up and down the UK a few times since.

Mine did the same recently after doing only 2,900 miles in the last MOT year!

OK, so I was a ~900 miles out :o

Engine feels like nearly new (only had new injectors and new turbo (blew left/right seal due to driving with blocked DPF))
Auto gearbox feels like new, just 2 oil changes.
Front and rear differentials had fluid change at ~190,000 miles (need to do transfer case)
Front suspension arms replaced once with mickey mouse bits and next time with TRW.
Never had air suspension problems. (touch wood)
Wheel bearings are original (touch wood)

Best car I every had and not even interested in changing it as it has almost everything most 2014 cars have apart from very exotic stuff.

My D3 just went over 114000 today.
D2 is less at around 111000.

No proof as yet (D2 on axle stand waiting to be put back together tomorrow and D3 at a garage having work done!)

Richarde 15th November 2014 11:13 AM

Wow! That fills me with confidence I am only at 74k..
