Whos Cars Are....

[skipp123]

Over the 100,000 mile mark? have you had any trouble with the car since its gone pased? only reason for asking is im going to look at one saturday with 99,089 miles on fsh ect.... how much for a engine rebuild if anything does go wrong?

[KingStromba]

142,000 and 18,000

Don't worry about it mate. Mine had 106k on when I bought it Feb last year.

Engine's prolly the most solid thing on mine! Had no trouble other than a new alternator, and a few service items.

Bear in mind my dad managed 290k in his 2L Renault 25 until he traded it last year. And that was without any rebuilds or anything major on the engine at all.

Yeah my dad did well over 200,000 in his Renault 18 Estate.

Mine has done 103k, not had any problems myself but only had it a couple of days. No receipts from previous owner for anything other than tyres/brakes etc for anything that went wrong around that mileage, and like most Williams owners, he was the sort who kept receipts for everything.

I know the F7P engines are normally good for 150k at least. I've had a couple on 140k when sold, and my current one had 167k miles on it before i changed the engine (and the last 50k it done were normally being driven hard), so would assume the Williams F7R engine is capable of similar mileages without much trouble

Higher mileage, well cared for cars are actually better as they tend to have had most of the major woek done on them.
