    Im more suprised the odometer lasted that long. They are a pain in the ass for breaking.

    There's no proof that it's all original tho.....could be on its 3rd motor, or could just have a different cluster.....could have 600+ ridgey didge k's....no one will know except the previous owner I guess.

    welcome to vl clusters

    the trip and odo stuff up a bit,
    sometimes they stop completely or even they measure 1000km instead of 1km

    had my dash shoot up a 100,000km in one cruise, but all is fixed now

    My bro had a VU ute go through his work the other day with 660,000k's on it. The cluster stopped working at 500,000k's, and the 2nd one is on 160,000k's (It's all in the logbook). Apparently the owner has only needed to replace 2 or 3 things (which were rather small), and it's still goin as strong as ever.

    Our AU falcon has just ticked 770,000kms all on LPG!!

    only problems are fuel filter and injectors (the car must start on petrol)

    and apart from that it has terribly bad steering, but the engine is 100% (the engine is original to the car)

    for some reason falcons ALWAYS last longer than commodores.

    My old man had an SL/E about 4 cars back (pwoahhh i loved that car, wish it was still with us rip.) and the ODO stopped at about 425,000ks and he had it for about three and a half years after that

    Thats a pretty clean looking VL though, i wonder how much itll go for
