Would be nice to know the model of the car as well as the mileage on the list.

Just a thought

Now up to 245747 miles compared to the 225942 in my first post.

Mechanically I think most of the major parts are original. The only bit that isn't original since my first post is the autobox, which destroyed itself a few months after, which I replaced with a second hand unit that had just done 100k. So most of the car has been to the moon and is on its way back.... but the gearbox is still on its way there

Now also working on my second 75, also a CDT, but has a mere 156k on the clock, so a while to go there.

Ive seen a couple of V6's with over 200k, another year or so and the list will double in size I reckon.

I'd better get the old girl sorted out and back on the black stuff, or I'm going to end up falling off the bottom of the list at this rate!
