You and me Spoony, we know how to own a turbo Falcon!  Almost to the next milestone myself.

I feel the driveline in them is genuinely impressive.  'touch wood' but despite the km's, respectful but spirited fun use at times, and the substantial increased power output for much of it's life,  I haven't touch a single thing with the exception of finally needing to do the water pump at 260,000km.  That's from crankshaft pulley to rear wheels.

Yeah mine's been great so far, except for parts I've worn out through the hard abuse like bushes/joints/bearings/tailshaft CV, uni, rubber mount to gearbox.  Gearbox rebuild of course and valve springs were done, but engine bay ancillaries all original still.  Power steering possibly on the way out, new fluid but a bit of a shudder is felt once a fortnight or so.

299,013 when I hopped in this morning.

171000ish kms for me in a 2004 BA XR6 Turbo Manual. Bought it 2 years ago with about 160,000? Can't remember precisely but it has been good to me. Still has the T5 and it's still stock power. Things that have been replaced by the previous owner or myself are the diff bushes, rear trailing arm bushes, tailshaft centre bearing, battery, alternator and coil packs. It's been to 3 track days in the 2 years I've had it and is still going strong. At the rate I put kays on it, it will be 3-5 years until it ticks over to 200,000.

I saw a fg wagon for sale on gumtree last week. It had over 950,000k's on it. I think the dude wanted $1200 for it.
