And here was me saying, a couple of weeks ago, that my astra was ready for the knackers at 99K

Our Golf estate just hit 100k last week. We do about 15k a year and will stick with it for quite a while. I think the key thing is servicing and maintenance. Striking a balance between only doing something when it “ fails” and having everything changed to line the garages pocket. Ours has DSG autobox. The recommended oil and filter change is 40k miles, I am deliberately doing it at 32k. Might be wasting money or avoiding trouble later.

I was surprised at how many older cars there were on the roads. Did you notice the 30odd astras at over 750,000 miles? :o
-
Yes! You would need a comfortable well equipped car.

My Volvo has done 203,000, drives like its done 60k :y

15 year old Signum has just 93000 miles under her wheels so is still just a pup.
Used car adverts from yesteryear would say things like......
Engine rebored at 40,000 miles and now uses very little oil.
Ziebart or Endrust from new so absolutely no rust after 4 years.
35000 miles from new drives like a dream and has never had the cylinder head removed.

Well, if I get get 750,000 miles out of my astra, it will do me till I'm around 110 ;D

229 000 on my MV6 and it’s purring like a kitten👍

My 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 has just clicked onto 100,000 miles was on 86,000 when I bought it in September 2019, hasn't used a drop of oil between services & has only cost around £1800 in servicing & repairs including a set of tyres . Got absolutely no intentions of getting rid till it dies.
-
Think I've only ever bought two cars[out of about 60 that I've owned]that had less than 100,000 on the clock when I bought them.
-
I bought 2 Senators & an Omega at around 100k.
The head gasket on the 24v Senny was replaced at 150k .... and that was about it other than routine servicing tyres etc

It’s a testimony to how robust these engines are. With the amount of exhaust gasses bubbling in your coolant, I was slightly nervous. I’m so glad the head-change, valve regrind and new head gaskets made this car glorious again!!! :D

James, this engine is really nice, you done a really good job you cleaned the oil pick up too remember👍 It sounds lovely goes very well and ticks over like a watch😎
