Re: Highest mileage Syncro on this forum?
Im going to view a 300k km T3 this week, Im guessing that works out about 200k miles? Its the Boxer petrol 1.9 engine, so hoping its been well serviced, and has some history with it.

So that'll be well out too then! Think I worked out mine (on the wrong speedo drive gearing) is about 13% over reading on the ODO (which is often quite a different error to the speedo!) but if I go to the corect gear for the tyres (ie 205R14) that still won't put it right, though by my calculations if I fit the drive for 185R14 tyres is should be pritty close, sadly the roll pin is resistant to hammering out with the biggest hammer I can get close so I still havn't swapped it over.
The drive has been broken in the past, don't know how long but prob a few thousand miles, so I think the slight overreading is it catching up slowly.
As for the score, about 135k miles, which is becoming fairly low I guess. Would have been about 8k less if I the landy hadn't been off the road for most of last year.
