I'm still using the original service book but there is no room left in it. The last few have just been written out on sheets of paper and taped in. I just make a note of what has been done, type of oil used etc.

Good news on the red auto. It just needed a couple of wishbones and a few other minor bits to get through the MOT. £200 including the cost of the MOT.
Brakes and exhaust are going to need some attention sooner rather than later though.

Just the engine light in the blue one to worry about now.

so the next mile stone will be 222,222k - I was under the impression the cam chain was a non service item (as it was never mentioned in the service schedual when to change ) - I wonder weather the one that was on E bay at 470k a few months back was on the original chain ?
