Lorry mileage

[archoak]

Is 296K (180,000) too much for a J reg horsebox? Thanks.

No that's nothing for a lorry if it's got a diesel engine. Hardly run in!!

Mine has over 250 000km and is still going strong - it is an A reg and has taken me from Essex to evon and back with no problems!

Mines an M reg and has about 350,000km on the clock!

Still going strong - only prob we've had was the battery going dead! Are you buying a new lorry then?

 

[archoak]

Yes need something bigger to take new horse and Molly

How did you get on at Patchetts?

If its a diesel it just about run in!! A diesel engine should last atleast 250,000 and then maybe need a bit of work to carry on another quarter of a million miles.
