Thanks Joe & congratulations Andy. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Sorry Andy, it does not. SWMBO would not be very happy if I gave away her mustang

If you fancy a 30min drive down the A614, I can arrange something with A&B Land Rover (Shiptonthorpe) as your prize. Joe

A&B at shiptonthorpe.? I know Mike Brookfield at shiptonthorpe that does LR parts. Andy.

Just a little footnote on life expectancy....

Most vehicle manufactures go with 150k/10yrs. They could shorten it by a year or two or lengthen it, but each way would have ramifications. Too short and they would get a reputation as being crap - too long and they would lose money. So it's an average, not a given.

A good JLR example of this is with the auto gearbox. They say the 'box is sealed for life and does not require a fluid change. JLR life is 150k miles, but ZF (the manufacturer of the 'box says to change the fluid every 60k). This is because JLR know the average 'box will last that mileage before failure, but ZF know that the 'box would benefit from a fluid change and we all know that a MegaFlush will do wonders

Automotive Averages
In general, however, people don't really keep their cars forever. Research by R.L. Polk says that the average age of a modern vehicle is 11.4 years, while the average length of time drivers keep a new vehicle is 71.4 months -- around 6 years.

At the end of the day most cars last past their expected life, with a little TLC and those that don't have probably had a hard life - on average  Joe
