So, My 1.2 2000 Clio just ticked over 120k miles, this is my perception of high miles, I laughed at my mate when he said he had high miles at 60k on an 03 plate.
So what are yours at?
So what are yours at?
done 21,204 miles since 13/4/2013 thats a minimum of £4,240.80 in fuel
So 119k miles is ok then lol.
Hopefully with new cambelt, dephaser and a few other anticilaries it will hold before the big bang.
Time will tell. It seems though that it had aged gracefully.
I dont want to think of an XU engine with this sort of miles.
My dci 80 as 297.242 miles...
Our old 172 was around 150K, and our 182 is 120K
Ive seen other cars with far less mileage and far less healthy engines than the 150K in particular.
Which leads me to make the (highly unsurprising) conclusion that other facts are FAR more important in the health of a F4R than the number of miles its done.
Id take a well maintained high miler used for long trips over a stop start shopping car making a few short trips a day to drop the kids off at school etc.
I think its the number of cold starts and the regularity of oil changed, and of course how it is driven, that are the biggest factors, mileage is a lesser one.
