Default 1.8 Turbo - highest mileage

Out of interest what is the highest mileage 1.8T in the club - mine is on 63,700 -so what are the scores on the doors.

Hello Richard,

It would - will see if i can ask the question in a new post.

By the way i really impressed by the revised engine layout of your MG6 Turbo - folk talk about how the 75/ZT 1.8 engine bay is easy to work on but i think the MG6 is even better.

That's very impressive. Just goes to show that a lot has to do with how you treat the clutch..


Cheers,

and perhaps the type of journeys completed. Motorway miles are high mileage but no engaging and disengaging of clutch unless of course stuck in traffic.
