maidy01 10 Posted January 24, 2014 Hi to anyone out there, I am a newby who uses my unmodified N reg Storm as a drive for work and leisure. She will be turning 170k miles in the next few days and I wondered if there are many other storms with that sort of mileage on the clock? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I brought my VR on about 94k so im around the 55 K driving miles Good question - I'll need to go back and look at the paperwork, but I think I've done about... 25-30K in it myself?

Roger Chatfield 0 Posted January 24, 2014 Daily storm here, just clicked over 138000, no sign of any smoke and at the last MOT the emissions where really low so I think the engine is good and healthy... fingers crossed. Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted January 26, 2014 did you all have your chains changed? and at what time? Mine's not a Storm but the previous owner had the chains done (with the improved mk4 tensioner) at a little over 135k I think it was (the car is now on about 143k or thereabouts).
