How many KM's has your AU done?

[ST]

Just clocked over 63,000 in the ST now. Still smells and feels new!

[munchkin323]

2000 AU I XR6. 230,000 unopened - no dramas yet.
1994 EF fairmont ghia 360,000 unopened - plenty of rattles and squeeks.
1993 EB GLi 280,000 - one head gasket

[bo0]

2001 AU2 XR6 - bought 14 months ago with 55,000k's, now has 65,000.

Apart from changing the battery and spark plugs/leads, she's perfect.

[CRAIGAU3220]

Got mine in 2005 and had 40,300km now has 61,200km.

[madmelon]

August 02 XR8, bought 3 weeks ago with 67,***km, just clicked over 70,000 today.

Was a weekend car so got thrashed a bit- clutch and 2nd synchro not great.
Backlash
Boot strut mount rust- going out to fish oil it right now!
Cruise control -ve button need to press quite hard
Needs new leads

Dash does this strange thing where the tacho ticks like the second hand of a clock, rather than moving smoothly as it should. Doesn't always happen- mostly at higher revs.

Absolutely beautiful car- such a pleasure to drive.

Mine does this too to the tacho - usually only just after the car is started and cold... wierd, though.

[SVR73]

August 98 AU XR6 VCT sedan
104,000 km

On second set of slotted brakes since I bought it in 2004.
HIDDEN NOT DRIVEN in this case. Have about 20 hobbies so it doesnt get driven much

[FPV+fteT3]

2002 AU T3 38,000km no problems drives and goes like a new car should.
It is a sunny day cruise car and I intend to have it for many years to come so plenty of time to clock up the K's. New battery,and tyres otherwise its as it left Ford.

[jcto]

2001 AUII 146,000kms. Purchased Aug 08 with 112,000kms. Daily drive and family getaway.
Replaced ;
Power Steering Hose
Surprise surprise replaced alternator.
New Radiator (adrad copper & brass)
New stereo, old one decided when it would play cd's & I am the boss.

Overall a very good straight clean tidy car with no performance mods. Still has the Michelin MX1's from when I bought it. Brake discs are a bit warped but pads are still at about 60% so that can wait. Was always a holden person but am sold on the AUII......just a pleasure to get into and drive everyday.

I'd be hard pushed trying to find another car that's had more love thrown at it since leaving the maternity

[AU3XSR]

02 AU3 SR bought in Feb 08 with 30,000km on it. Daily driver that has just ticked over at 67,500km. Still feels like new. Was floored when I checked the logbook and found that it took the previous owner 2 years to do nearly 8,000km!!!

Absolutely perfect (touch wood) and apart from a new battery and the usual consumables/fluids etc I have only replaced parts on her for the purposes of modding.

[TICK4D-TAS]

[grandpa_spec_F6]

Just hit 170xxx in my AU 1998 fairmont ghia,

vct motor still hauls like buggery, however drinks like a fish.

Had it just under a year, when I got it the odometer was sitting on 152xxx k's

Replaced rear hub and axle and abs module, apart from that just regular service stuff.

[5L]

brought mine 3 years ago, with 86,000km's on the clock. now at 171,000 daily driver/weekend cruiser.

broken engine mount bolts, one gearbox, diff is clunky, feels abit loose with hard gear changes, replaced the suspension at around 130,000.

end of the day it gets driven it is what it was meant for and has given me alot of good times over the years. and i expect another few good years out of it.

and i would still jump in it now and drive it anywhere as it is.

Not sure, but from the condition the motor is in id say it is original...

[xrford]

series 2 wagon old motor had 210 on it, new motor has 96.

Did the front main seal on the old motor i think thats cos it sat in water for a couple of days tho.
Knocking noise in the front poss ball joint ect, and power steer rack also has a pop/ clunk sound when turning the wheel when stopped in some position.
apart from that just the usual service and maintanence items

[JTFG]
