dragon green 5 Posted January 19, 2010 Its taken me 9 years,5 months, but ive finally done a 100k ! Bought in 2000 with 42k on the clock,now 142k ! Never been on the back of a breakdown truck,never towed, AA only called once,and it was fixable (duff battery) If you want to keep your C reliable,my vote is for preventive maintenance ! Heres to the next 100k :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Mine has just reached 142k too. Never been towed/recovered/letdown either. (he says touching some wood!) They really are incredibly tough cars, I do 70+ miles a day in it, have done for the last 6 years,I think that helps, regular use, getting everything up to temp, not many short journeys. I also noticed the other day, mine has had 25 oil changes in that mileage, I do it every 6k. Its had no head work, chains are untouched. Feels good for fair few miles yet. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sprinterVR6 0 Posted January 20, 2010 regular use, getting everything up to temp, :) top tip there re the temp. I always wait tills she's up to the 84 and reckon that's a massive thing..couldn't imagine jumping in and firing up to 5k revs!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
