A brand new 70 series is still close to 3m despite feeling like older than a mitsu L300. Hehe

wow! ganda nga ng 70 series type ko mga klassik! but if it's almost 3M i'd rather have a defender. much classy lookin classic! ala kuya kim.

Baka kung nagpagod ng konti para mag-upload ng ibang pix yung sulit seller, di siya kaagad nahalata. Tsk tsk!

Plug and Play na yung pagtamper sa digital odometers? Yikes!

Yep. I think my Patrol was a rollback victim also.

The hassle also with a rolled back odometer is that you cannot determine what particular critical service has to be done with the vehicle unless you do a general service (including timing belt changes if the engine utilizes a t-belt).

pag nagpalit ba ng timing belt puwede bang makalikot yung odo? sabi kasi nung bibilhan sana namin ng surplus starex, kaya bumaba odo reading dahil sa timing belt change? huh?

^WTF??? Mukhang masarap yung tinira niya ah.

Pag di sure sa service history and mileage, best to just chance the t-belt. The OEM ones i've seen before also have a sticker to post on the engine to remind of the next belt change (80,000kms interval usually).

I remember looking at a second hand Toyota Corolla AE101 before. It had around 52,000kms on it and was pretty fresh looking. When i checked the engine bay, there was a sticker that indicated the timing belt was changed at 80,000kms++ on a certain date two years prior. Doing the math on the average mileage run, that car actually had 130K to 140K on the odometer most likely.
