£100??!?! Even the stealers won't charge you that much!

£15 from National Tyres or about £30 from Kwik-Fit

Had 116k when i bought it, just gone over 138k today. I will be commuting 100 miles a day, starting today, so that will be shooting up.

I am expecting to be under it to change the oil every 2 months (5k) or so!

I really do enjoy reading these stories about highest mileage cars. It,s quite incredible what some of these 406,s achieve as regards longevity. My last 1.9TD had 271,000 on it before being passed on & it,s still going around as regular transport everyday. My current 2.1TD only 111,000 currently so plenty of life there. Keep the the stories coming lads, it,s great to hear what they achieve & gives reassurance as to how bloody good a car they are...... :D
