I said goodbye to my old ED at 337000 and the only thing I replaced was a coil. Love the ford staying power!

My Series II EA has 109,000ks on the clock atm.... Had 85,000 on it when I bought it 3 years ago.
By my calculations I should reach the 300,000 club in about the year 2028... |

My EL has 392,000 on it. I bought it with 123,000 on it and got 363,000 out of the original engine. Never done a head gasket either. Soon to join the 400,000 club

The amount of driving I do, it won't be long before I join the 300 000 club.

hehehehe, my ex-taxi has done just under 970,000, but i fitted an xr cluster awhile back. It still has the original motor but has done 2 heads, 6 head gaskets and a complete diff, gearbox revamp.
BUT, sadly its starting to smoke a pack'a'day. :( Glad it was done by the previous owner.

A mate of min had a ED Ex taxi. When he bought it it had 952,000 approx and now it has wound over and has 312,000 approx. So the car has done a full 1.3 million kms. And its running the same although rebuilt engine.

my EB V8 has got 276,000 kms and counting, im getting there, and my engine runs NOS every once and a while too...., so maybe it won't make the 300,000 mark, lol, but needs a little TLC since it runs 200+RWKW in a flash!, it'll need a rebuild very soon, lifters starting to make noises, radiator leaks every now and then, alternator making few noises now and then, engine detonated and pistons not the best anymore, but it goes........

Mines got 250 000 on it roughly... actually it's been around that same number for the last 4 years or so cos the odometer has been broken
 :Recently it has started working again!! Though only sometimes. Good to see the manual reset odometer not be on 0000 for once! |
