About that, I have the oil out every 12k
And do London to Sheffield a lot plus a fair bit of stop start in London. She's on 310k now and still going strong, just silly stuff playing up really, wouldn't have any other car, had mercs, BMW's, Chrysler's and nothing has been as strong as this old girl. |

Merc’s are normally a good car for big miles too, but not cheap to run either. Which Merc’s did you have? You had a Chrysler too? I’m assuming the big 300c…

Yeah D5,
Love it. My list of cabs... 1991 Granada... big and cheap, rear brake pads lasted about 4 weeks. Few more fords. 1994 e34 520i...great car, small in the back. Few bm's 2000 Chrysler grand voyager 2.4d...great all rounder, heavy on fuel, ridiculous on parts. 1998 e300 w210 estate...legend of a car, had somebody go into the back of it at about 40mph destroyed their Peugeot, I needed a new number plate. 2003 rover 75 2.0 cdti comfy, cheap. 2006 Skoda superb good trim bit dull. And currently the Swedish main battle tank lol |

Skoda Superb’s always took my eye, particularly the newer ones as they have huge boots & loads of rear leg room. My friend had a Grand Voyager… very practical vehicle. I just wouldn’t know where to bring it if something went wrong. I don’t see many Chrysler Specialists about!

To be fair the Skoda was very reliable but heavier on fuel than the Volvo, I guess it's that old thing about the bigger engine not working so hard etc
I had the older shape, basically a long wheelbase passat. The only Chrysler dealer I knew of was in amersham, couldn't get parts at the time from anywhere else, so mega bucks, didn't keep it long. I think I've found my marque now, will stick with these while there's still good one about. I reckon this old girl will smash my previous mileage record, that was 440k on the first Granada, although that did have about 4 auto box's. |

It's not been too bad,
Couple of cambelts 2 bottom arms on the front, same side, nearside still original. 1 rear nivomat Blower motor Flexi pipe on exhaust I've only done the brake pads a few time. I think it's because it's got upgraded brakes chassis and suspension that it seems to just not break that often, it's not getting the pounding that the previous owner gave it I guess. It's very basic, it's kind of a fast transit van. Hence the Monica my daughter gave it, the millennium falcon big, white, driven by a lunatic and can do the kessel run in 12 parsecs lol.

310k is some going. Not many cars last that long! Is your auto?
