Not bad without an engine rebuild. I remember exactly what spot I was when I reached 100k and now I remember 200k. The spot's pretty crap though and I was kinda disappointed being near there in the first place. Oh well........ :oops:

It's bloody hard to take a photo with a camera phone while you're driving btw!

hahaahah mate i do around 5k a day, & no more then 2000k a year.

I'm on 83k, that mean it would take me till 2065 before i get to 200,000km :lol:

And that number of years would raise too, as the FTO won't be my daily car soon.

Yeah Max I accidentally forgot to do the 100k service. :oops:

So it's gonna be a real MAJOR service this time around. But the engine is running pretty well though and there's a spare 6A12 in the garage anyway.

I must say, every time i see Joel's car, it sounds normal to me....

Btw it is recommended by Mitsubishi that you change the transmission oil every 16,000km, so you better do that too Joel.

Yes it's true...... :oops: I've had the car longer than I've known about this website so I didn't know where to get my car serviced at the time..... :oops:

It's alright man I've got a whole refresher plan on the way.

I will change timing belt, water pump and fuel pump, and look into addressing any oil leaks coming from the motor, and a transmission service.

Also gonna change all the lubricants and lube up all the hinges and joints of doors, boot etc.

Also gonna buy new springs and dampers and do Bennoz's bush and droplink replacement.

May also change the stepper motor with a newer one.

Probably gonna spend about $2k on just getting her to run more smoothly.
