its got 191k on the clock and i have had it since 19k so its all my own fault!!!!!!
its taken me to every petrol station in the uk and back again without major failing...
i have had the usual...cv boots/ alllternator/water pump/ header tank/ rear susspension allienment etc but nothing else bad....
never been painted and all panels clean...
drivers seat a little saggy but so is the driver...
i totally love this car and have had a million hours of smooth yet powerfull driving...
i also have a Porsche 993 Cab thats also mint with 100k....
thats for weekends and sunny days only..
i enjoy he forum and it has helped me a lot in the past with silly things..
i used stratstone in Derby uptill 120k then found an amazing Indy garage in Burton on trent

Welcome to the forum Lee.
Thats alot of miles to throw on a car and alot of petrol receipts in a 4.6is! Glad to hear that not much has gone wrong with it either... gives me some more confidence in mine!

Re: Newbie on the block!!!
Welcome,
Fine testimony indeed.
Would be interested at some point to see mileages that you had things done....especially the water pump & alternator.
My 96k miles realtively low in comparison.........I've had outer front CV boots,bushes & header tank plus a few usual bits (window regulators etc).
