til it's fooked depends on servicing,how it has been looked after,what time it was built,who built it,quality of parts available at the time,morel of workers working on vehicle at the time,how it has been driven,and how lucky you are, i would say about 12 months,or until the warranty runs out.

My bad. Looking at the left gauge, it looks like it's km. It isn't mine, only a photo of a friend in Australia.
Anyway it's still great. Shows RRC guys P38 isn't as crap they say.

301,462 miles and staggering on,after numerous blasts across Europe/Asia including 8 days in low ratio, the box, R380, is not happy,three month oil change came out black and the clink of two needle rollers. All i want for Christmas is Amazon quality and diffs in a Range-Rover!

301,000 miles on the original engine, gear and transfer boxes? If so (or any one of them!) that is seriously impressive! What model P38 is it?

sounds like 300,000 miles of fun!

My 4.6 has 131,000 on it and probably will stay under 140,000 for some time, given the way we (don't) use our cars.

I'm still not convinced the motor has oil in it, given that there's none underneath it.

It shows as 240,000 miles on the speedometer but been assured it had an engine change at 150,000 so i suppose 90,000 miles and assume the engines on these just go on and on and mileage is nothing but a number in P38's case - right or wrong?
