Yet another milestone!

Post by Bailes1992 »

120,000miles. Bought it on 97k last May.
Sticking about 700miles a week on it at the moment. I'l be amazed if it's got less than 120,500miles on it when I get to the meet Sunday :roll:

Average MPG! There's a little rattle behind the instrument cluster I have to sort out but it's such a nice car to drive!

I was getting over 60mpg but I removed my EGR blank as it was leaking a little.
New EGR blank should be here next week and ordered a new gasket from ford this afternoon.
Car drives like a pig with the EGR working. You get a 2-3 second pause at every gear change before it starts accelerating in the next gear. I used to think it was turbo lag but think its a slightly sticky EGR now.

Looks like you're catching up with me :P :lol:

I only ever did at most 300 per week regularly. You must be spending your life in it! Where are you going?

This is exactly what I noticed. Must be the time taken after you put your foot down for it to close the EGR and flush the crap out of the cylinders with fresh air.

Was working in Swansea for 2 months after I bought it which was a 60mile round trip.
Then between July 2012 and May 2013 I've been working in Cardiff which was a 45mile round trip.

But at the moment and since May I've been working in Ebbw Vale which is 100m round trip! 2 months and I've stuck 5000miles on the poor thing!

Plus I've been on quite a few road trips and generally do about 150 miles each weekend.

Hoping the company I work for get a contract in Bridgend that they've all been talking about. It would mean I'd could cycle to work for 15 months!
