about to hit 130,00 in like a day or two. no major problems, just electrical, but its fixed now and running and perrrrring like a champ, i love my ironman.

We should probably poll every year as I originally answered back in 2004. I currently am about to hit 100k - only major item has been the ABS unit, next (in cost) were the TOD speed sensors. Otherwise it's been smooth sailing since 2001.

39,000. I try not to drive it much because I don't want any dings or dents.
Other people don't care about there vehicle when next to the VX.

[etlsport]

oh yea! i knew i had an issue.. my ABS unit went out too around 56-57k.. gone 4k without it no problems.. got a low mileage replacement for $100 just haven't installed it yet

I like seeing how many have just faded away. 3 years ago, that VX was closing on 200k. Where is it now? The Proton with the painted cladding.....did this thing just slip into the ether?? We need to start tracking these cars, now...learn from the past. Did that blue one ever turn up??? How do you hide a blue VX??

i just rolled over 5000 miles since i bought her in april and it had 65,175 when i got her. some thing like 70,175 and only did an oil change on her....
:bgwgf course i have tinted the windows, removed the backseat and emblems, put the roof rack back on, strapped my full size spare where the backseat used to be and put new tyres on (for no real reason). upcoming plans include; reverse camera showing through a motorized dvd capable face, lambo doors, sunroof, brand new black and yellow leather seats, blackout all lights, replace those little lame lights up front with little projectors and those reflectors in back with brake lights of some sort. oh, LED everything i can and add those blue headlights i saw a post about recently.

original owner with 69,000 miles today...how do I know this ...because I just finished laying on the cold, cold ground draining out the old erle and pour'in in the new along with a new oil filter & PCV from NAPA (Echlin--made in USA)!

A few miles from the 110K mark. When I flew out to Texas to buy her, she was at 23K miles. I drove from Texas to Florida in her that day. Best drive of my life!!!

I logged into this poll 2004 with 82K miles. She just rolled over 200K miles. (200,800) So far one tranny, one radiator, one set of brakes pads, one power steering hose, just replaced 1 set of Nittos T/G with a new set.....The worst component on the car is the aftermarket Pioneer AVIC-N-2 navigation unit...pretty much junk...Mobil 1 since new is the only special care she gets

well cant say it has been trouble free but just got through 260,000 kl although the TOD don't work 4L dont work and it is now running like someones pissed in my tank.
It still has the one main Vehicross feature working though.. I'm still hitting my head on the low roof when I get in!

[FuddyMucker]

Sorry guys, having a bad day when I wrote that.
Thing is I only got it a month ago and seem to be going from one expensive problem to another.
I do like the truck and will do my best to get it fully working again, hopefully without needing to selling the wife and kids, well the wife anyway..

Hi Fuddy Mucker,

This is the place you can get help for your problems. Check out ebay and get a vehicross workshop manual first. If your not familiar with mechanical stuff get it anyway for your mechanic. Also, much of the routine stuff are interchangable parts with with the Isuzu Trooper 2. 1998-2001. Parts are all over the place over here in the US, the UK may be somewhat problematic. But can't see why they wouldn't ship....New parts for this car can be very expensive and not worth the price. i.e. a complete transfer case new with sensors is probably over $2.000 and is available thru carparts.com for a low as $150...

A good source for major component parts is going to, http://car-parts.comuse pay pal. The TOD has 2 sensors off the rear of the transfer case (Hi and Lo)...not sure by your description "TOD doesn't work" is pretty vague...but I'd check the wiring off those sensors near especially near the exhaust pipe and make sure there secure and still attached to the sensors.

Not sure bout the "pissed in gas tank"..that's a good one Not exactly sure how you nail that diagnosis down with certainity, except maybe start the engine and go around to the back of the car, get down your knees and take a few wiffs off the tailpipe and see if it has that distinct steamy pee smell aroma
good luck anyway.

John
