PS:

- I only run Delo 400 oil
- Only try to use SASOL diesel ( ABSA Rewards program).
- Current km reading on the clock is 467,357km.
- Engine, turbo, gearbox and all other closed mechanical thingy-majiggies are still original and unopened.

Thanks for sharing - looks good.

Well maintained is better than low mileage.

:D

No, I very very seldom tow anything. I normally drive 75km to work, open hilly road. Sometime I drive a lot further.

I told Mark when his (old) Pajero reached 400k in your hands. I wonder what he will think if he were to ever see this post.
Amazing what regular clean, good quality oil and filters can do for a solidly designed and built engine.
Well done John.

Thanks Roelf. I reckon he is still kicking himself :)

But wait - what is that I see in your profile pic, did the prodigal son return? Or is it mere for memory's sake?

Naa..
Prodigal son went on forever-walkabout. It is just my way of continually reminding myself of one idiotic moment
