I remember it being a regular thing with a 1500 Dolomite a friend used to have, along with the big ends, but also quite handy with a limited mileage. ;D

Mrs Opti's first car was a 1974 Triumph Toledo which was finished in a colour very similar to  dog shit mixed with cat vomit. :-\ :-\

 It drove like a bus, but she loved loved it none the less for that.

RIP. tolly. :'( :'( ;)

Say you did over 2,000 miles how would they actually know you've gone over ? I don't see how they could tbh.  ???

Thats a good point ,wether they check MOT's for mileage should you make a claim is a possibility
