Never had her apart in the four years i've had it but if the bits inside the engine that i cant see are as clean as the bits on the outside that i can see, then i'll have no problems getting 250,000 miles out of her Talk about value for money

Well, I guessed the closest
Well done mate, sounds (&looks!) like you've got yourself a minter there

Your quite right, i looked at half a dozen 55-80,000 mile safs when i was cossie hunting , all looked clean at first glance but every one needed work done and two were desperately in need of a rebuild. This one on the other hand had over 110,000 on the clock when i bought it but had the strongest , cleanest engine by far. Four years and 25,000 trouble free miles later, i would say its proved to be a wise buy. Who says high mileage motors are a gamble
