We've clocked up a whoping 56,000 (ish) in the XT Foz since Jan 06.

Going on Subaru reliability, regular oil changes and relatively conservative driving habits, we should be good for another 500,000 kms or so and about 22 years before we take a spanner to it!

Tryed crossing through one of the dams on our farm.
It first started to be very shallow then the next thing i know i had water halve way up the door and a wet arse.:?
Wouldn't of thought it was so deep with the bad couple of years we've had.
I could try and cross the req lake next, but might get stuck on a suberged shopping trolly.:mrgreen:

412,043 k's and she broke. Oh well.
Yep, the Battlewagon's busted, sounds like a piston, loss of compression and a BAD knocking noise, with large quantities of blue smoke from the exhaust and the dipstick blows out of it's tube. I need another donk.
