Well done to you lot for being so honest about the miles your cars have done, i asked this same question on the RSOC site a few weeks ago ,Kicked it off with my own cars miles[134,000] and got plenty replies but they were all along the lines of "Wow thats some mileage fella, that'll take a bit of beating" and " i know a boy who's car has done such and such miles but my whatever has only got 36,000 miles from new". Basically no one wanted to admit to high mileage although i'm sure some of the replies were from people who couldn't lie straight in bed and the 30 odd thousand they were claiming is probably their cars second trip round the clock

mine is a k plate 4x4, it's got 94k on the clock and running a stage 3 chip still on the original turbo, which is is on it's last legs, the rest of the engine seems sound enough tho, no rattles or squeaks and it always fires up first time.
