Well my trusty old TP Elite wagon hit the big 300... Guess she is officially in the high mileage club! She's been going really well,certainly not without a lot of great advise from guys on here. It's got me wondering,what's the highest mileage Magna you guys have seen? I'd imagine 300 isn't all that unusual. Cheers,Steve

I think there's a member kicking around here with 450,000kms+ on this TJ. User name escapes me

Likewise, a few other third gens with 300,000kms+ but I don't know much about the first gens on here

Mine has a mere 94,000kms on my TW

your doing well with that TP

found the old post in archives ....of members with highest kms 08-01-2004 -

cant confirm honesty all of the guests --- ignore any V6 engine km

I owned a TN SE and sold her about 1/2 a year ago with 295,000.

Highest i've personally seen was at the wreckers in a TP. Nearly half a mil. 492,000. Poor Magna would have been to china and back several times over. I'll never forget the day i saw it .

Hey Buffy,hope your doing well !! 492000! Wow,I've got a way to go then! Mind you,she had 273000 when I put the TR engine in her...doesn't seem that long ago. I do a lot of miles between Bris and the Gold Coast so that will get it clocking up...by the way,what oil viscosity and oil change intervals do you run in a good engine? It's got 15w/50 Nulon in there now but was thinking of going to 10w/40 for the cooler weather...well,by QLD standards anyways! My basic old workshop manual just says 20w/50 but that's not the roller cam engine...what ya reckon?

My TH solara wagon is at 655000 and still going strong with the original engine :)

that is super to know
kl verada with 300k approaching and no reason to let it go

my 1990 TP wagon saw out 380,000 before hitting a roo (head gasket went at 330,000 and replaced with a higginbottom reco); my 1990 TP sedan (auto this time) is up to 297,000 and just getting a birthday with the engine out of the wagon..

My TN has 320,000 on it, has been fitted with a TS motor

My TP auto carby wagon has 294,000. She has been pensioned off now and is used as the farm car. She sits in the paddock waiting for some to give her a run. She has a small solar cell to keep the battery topped up. It starts instantly every time. I replaced her with a TW on gas. The running cost was too high at 12L/100 km. The TW is running at 12L/100 km on gas. I did a lot of work on the emissions system a year or so ago. The last thing, but never attempted, was to investigate the fuel level in the bowl because she tended to flood when at rest. Much of the work was posted here.

the first gen wagon has so little traffic these days

thought an off topic post would be something to read here

I just saw the aftermarth pictures of the wagon on your blog spot

gee you were so lucky

dont think the forum works on blogs links

with your permission

may I post the wagons pictures from that link using photo bucket ?

Mines nudging 450K. And I think we're both in need of a bit of maintenance.

The TP wagon I have has just got to 470K. Bought it for $400 eight and half years ago. Has never broken down. But have got a whining noise that is getting louder and am only hoping it's a rear wheel bearing.

Apart from some considerable sabotage by a sociopath, it's still going well.
