[Roadrunner]

About 97k miles on a late '98 saloon. Apart from regular servicing (to manufacturer's spec), stuff like brake pads, tyres, etc., and stuff I've replaced myself (wheels, brakes, exhaust) it has needed:

@ ~36k/3yr11mth : track-rod ends (under warranty)
@ ~42k/4yr01mth : torque-converter seal (under warranty)
@ ~53k/4yr06mth : steering arms (under warranty)
@ ~86k/5yr08mth : head gaskets/valve stem oil seals

Cheers,
Brian

:topic: Sorry to butt in but Brian I see you changed your valve stem oil seals at 86k, where you getting black smoke coming out intermitantly before you changed them ?

[Nick Mann]

This thread has some interesting mileages.

I am currently on three weeks, and about 800 miles, but the car has done about 90k - it is an early legnum.

[adam_shaw]

Must be around the same as Nick, about 3 weeks.

It's done a bit more than 90K now Nick - Think it's about 102,000. Will double check in the morning

I hadn't noticed it but the technician who was doing the heads for me suggested that the valve stem oil seals be replaced while the heads were off. He said he'd noticed some oil smoke before he did the work. I guess the seals cost buttons in comparison to the work that was done so happy enough to have them done at the same time. I don't think I'd have had the heads off just to do these seals though - 24 hours labour :stunned: for the work I had done, and that didn't include skimming the heads which was done by a local engineer. Also, the head gasket set was £324 + VAT

So, just to revive an old thread, after the weekend in Birmingham and Kieran and Nick being kind enough to take me in their cars i was shocked to find Kierna and almost 100k on the clock and Nick to be at 129k, both cars still felt and looked good despite this. I was just wondering who has the highest mileage on their clock?
