landy george Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 3 years ago me & the family (2 kids, 2 dogs) did 385 miles from Essex to Edinburgh & then up to the Aviemore 130 miles. Didn't miss a beat, 17 years old with 160k on the clock. A year later 300 mile Essex to the lakes. Same thing, spot on. This season 3 trips, 100 miles a time from Essex to Holbeach in a 26 year old Defender Just make sure it's got a good cooling system & oil, you won't go wrong.

figgy Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Check out the Aussies 400 mile is a trip to the local shop. Plenty do lots of miles in them, just take it steady and it should do thousands in a trip without a hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 A few years ago I took my TD5 to Slovenia and racked up almost 2500 miles. It performed without fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson_tom Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 When I had my 300tdi disco it was about 18 years old with over 140,000 on the clock. It was my daily driver doing 70 miles a day and took us and the caravan all over the country with no problems at weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
