Click to expand.Wow! I'm totally shocked and speechless by your reply Joey. You know better than this owning and wrenching on one to keep it running. My Limey tennants sons both have Discos, a 96 and 98 claim not a bit of a problem just oil and gas. Well I know the dealership service manager they use as a personal friend of mine. The 96 had 163K miles. Rear diff seal failure as well wiped out the ring and pinion so a used diff installed.
Contacted Nissan, they refused to provide any help with the repair. Enjoyed Nissan Pathfinder for the past 2 years as a daily driver for work and family also with. My 2015 Pathfinder with 31,000 miles does not have a clear backup camera.
It had the heads off twice, once with a burnt exhaust valve from sticking a commom problem with 3 different design patch up changes by Rover that all failed, twice with head gasket failures having coolant leaks plus later a cracked head, both exhaust manifolds cracked and replaced. Many starters and alternators failed, rear windows failed, sun roof tracks failed, door lock springs broken, ABS failures, rubber U joint replacements with still a driveshaft vibration plus the cam cam chain timing set and lifters. At 163K a complete used engine replacement then sold. On the 98 with 203K miles had the oil pump relief valve stick open hence a wiped out crank, cam and bearings a total engine rebuild, again big money out of pocket. Later the slush box quit shifting after the dealer service. Within 500 miles it was a totally welded up tranny plus converter. Tranny replacement then a radiator failure and replacement.
Months later a old hose they reinstalled failed causing a dropped cylinder liner, the engine becomes a future bier can. Again another used long block installed. The AC failed as well holding more water inside than out with mold in the carpets and a fogged over windsheild inside. Leather seats split apart, window regulators quit working, front driveshaft failed on the highway in Nevada, he had to drive late at night until it caused a transfer case to be destroyed. Bring it in we can fix it dealers told him. Mind you these are British Tea and Tie White Shirt clean finger nail people that believe in the dealers BS.
They both had doubled their Rovers value in money sunk on repairs just to keep their 'not to have a bit of a problem' Rovers running.I bet they never drove more than 1/2 throttle as they were pansies and mommy boys. They both about poop out their English Scones after I gave them a little short test ride in my Disco.A Rover's a far cry from a 68 390 Ford engine that will go 2-400K miles untouched with hard use.
There's a reason why my wife gave me the Rover and keys back then purchased a new car for herself, stranded many times with her bad replacement knees is just one reason besides having ABS go off her ripping up lawns and bushes vs running over kids. The last straw was when SRS light turned on. She parked it and called a cab home. I had to pick it off the road before the police had it towed away.
I chit you not being a rather good wrench with a A&P mechanics license plus a 29 year wireman.' Could last 3-400 hundred thousand miles' yes if every part was replaced 5 times, even 300K kilometers would be hard to fathom at owning a D1 for over 15 years.Don't take this personal Joey, i've known you too many years, I speak my mind be it harsh it's just me. Click to expand.News to me Greg; over a million miles on my 69 CS, the factrory 390 option vs 360 ran 473K then the 414 I build that pushed the truck now at a million thirteen thousand. I've never had a overheating problem the past 41 years even pulling boats up and down the California central valley and over grades in the summer time. Yes a couple stats that went south and failed. No problems with overheating the 454 and 482, both FE motors with the future planned 520' FE MPI build i'm starting on for the 68 CS.
I'll be making some more heat at 485 HP and just over 600 ft/lbs TQ. I see you had two FE motors, there are 11 complete in my shop from 390, 406, 427 and 428's plus many performance FE heads and intakes in my collection. I've built over 50 FE's over the years without any overheating problems, this from mild to wild, broke a few motors when drag racing but then the price you pay for speed and HP. My friend runs a 514 a 385 series 460 with his 4 row radiator in his 67 CS without any overheating problems and this is a 600 HP dynoed motor. This is making some serious heat. Ok so the main question is is $2900 too much for a Disco with 190K miles the guy replaced the heater hoses, the water pump has been changed, plugs, wires, coil.
It also has a 2.5' Old Man Emu lift and full skid plates under it and an ARB front bumper and a custom Rock Ware bumper on the back.He also told me something about the drive shafts have been converted to U-Joints or something like that and something about slip yokes. He says the truck runs great with no leaks and no noise from the engine.I am good at working cars and i have every tool you can think of.I just dont want to buy this truck and end up putting a new engine in it in a week. He Duke, I recently paid $2,900 for a 97 disco with 215,00 miles. I bought it to see what it would do for the Pan American Highway, my plan is the 'PanAmerican'. Most of the lights dashboard and warning lights were lit-up but it just keeps running. 'Service Engine'I took it to a non-Franchise repair and they said, 'drive it around and tell us what's wrong!' I took it to the dealer and they said.
Keep driving it, but we won't touch it!.-I thought 'Fine' and I bought a 2004 with zero problems for $10,900. Indeed, zero problems. Even the dealer was pleased.My wallet is bigger than my toolbox, I don't throw money at old cars, boats & junk!
How Many Miles Do Buicks Last
I spend money on a good experience. (I don't go to Vegas).My experience with Land Rover is:at 200,000+ miles they are more expensive than the 60,000 mile versions.Do you remember the old song lyric?
The long dark increase carry weight. Dec 30, 2017 - Yeah, the Moosehide satchel will give you 5kg more carry weight. But Moose are not easy to find or kill, and their hides take forever to cure. Dec 28, 2014 - Is there some way to increase the weight you can have in your pack without being encumbered? The player's carrying capacity when at least 50% rested is 30 kilograms (66 lbs). The carrying capacity can only be increased by equipping a moose-hide satchel or by achieving the Well Fed affliction. Sep 10, 2018 - I'm carrying just one thing of anything essential to survival atm and i'm around 28/30kg. Is there no way to increase inventory capacity?
How Many Miles Can A Nissan Pathfinder Last
'I limped back on the shoulder on the rim'?How long is your shoulder? If it's 25,000 miles into South America, I recommend getting a better one.
If it's only 20 miles out to the lake, or the gravel pit. Cheaper the better.I have both. DavidI'm selling the older one. By the way.db. Click to expand.Hmmmm? That's a tough question about how long they will last and as Joey said - that depends on a lot of things and number one is (at least for a NAS 4.00 liter/241 CID) - has that engine been seriously over-heated at any time in its life? If the answer is affirmative - then I would say - you would be lucky to see 200 K max ouit of it (and probably not even that) - sleeved aluminum blocks do not appreciate being boiled!
The number 2 question is (quite apart from what sort of oil has been in it) - what sort of fuel has been running through it (for most of its life) as this is related to number1 reason - i.e., a continual diet of low-grade (i.e., below 91 octane fuel) does not conform well to the fuel-mapping for these engines - causing high internal temperatures and sleeve shifting, etc.
