Anybody got a meega with 200,000+ on the clock???? or do the doors drop off before they get that far :-?
Mines done 161,500 and running wonderfully at the moment. Yeah i know, kiss of death ::)

To quote Ron White (an American stand-up comedian);
"All the way to the scene of the crash!"
;D ;D
If I can stand the fuel and repair costs, I think mine could easily cruise through 200K.
-
seen a few near 300k on ebay over time
In fact a guy came to pick up something from me he bought via ebay and his 2.5td has 238000 on it ::)

Yeah, I know! ::) I've done 1,750 since I bought it and the oil was shot then :-[ Did the important stuff though ;) And I bought the oil over a month ago, that counts for something! :D ;D
-
So it's the thought that counts? :-?

Yeah, I've thought a lot about changing my oil! :D I also need to rotate my tires, but don't they do that on their own? ;) ;D

Oh no, it's in the car! ::) If I had a garage the oil woulda been changed by now :P Also if I could find a place that would do it for 20 quid instead of 80 :o
I only changed the oil on my last car once a year . . .

I've offered you axle stands and a garage, no excuses ;)

Used to have an easy solution to that.......park the car with the passenger side wheels on the kerb.......you might be luck and find a drain (I never said that.......use a neighbours drain)
-
Yeah, thanks. I've actually been really busy this week. Went down to the Cotswolds today. A black helicopter hovering over the road, a motorcade, and 2 places where they were inspecting for car bombs going the same way on the A429?!?
If I crank through some stuff in the morning I may be able to come over in the afternoon, but don't hold your breath :)

Since halfrauds wants too much for a drain pan, I have dirty intentions with 2 used 5L water bottles. Figure I can cut a hole in one side and use it as a drain pan.
Never done a cartridge filter before. This is going to be fun :(

I sold my old 2.5 V6 with 250000 miles on the clock beacuse I thought its bound to go bang sooner or later but I still see it around :y
-
320K miles is the most I have seen on a V6 so far...and it was running very well.

Okay.....so say i am lucky and get 300000 out of mine.
Its currently got 78000. I do 3000 miles a year :o
So it will live longer than me - unless i live to the ripe old age of 106!!
Unless the rust gets it first >:(
