Look at my signature !!!
I have owned 300d's since my early 20's, other family members drive them as well.
When its a 50mile round trip to the nearest town/shop it doesnt take long to wind them on.
Mainly country miles.
Craig who is mainly in OD is hunting down my old 300d !! He will probably pass it as its no longer on the road.
I dont know if we have a million mile member with the original motor/trans.
When I took the old one off the road, it was using a pint of oil every 300 miles, had blow by like a steam trains stack, flared on most changes & the front end/steering had a mind of its own on the rough. The diff talked to me as well.
I had owed it since 14,000 miles.
