    I think that is 60 months or 72,000 miles. The manual is not very clear! i was under the impression 200 is 6 years, 197 is 5 years for cambelt...

    Highest mileage 197/200

    relax your shoulders and dont rest your elbow on the window! lol i used to get white finger on motorway journeys in my rover metro. anything over 65mph caused the steering wheel to turn into a hammer drill!

    Highest mileage 197/200

    Wonder what the lowest mileage (for year) is? Im on october 2009 reg (59) and have 16000 on the clock and had 1 gearbox change(hopefully the last lol). Would like to use it everyday but dont get the chance as i use a boring diesel company car which has done 32000 in 14 months!

    mot advisory.

    Its advising you to watch the wear rate i guess? I had the same on my rear tyre at 3mm. Thats closer to the limit then it is from new depth.. if that makes sense ie 8mm new 1.6mm limit.

    Oil

    Tried a loads of times and everytime it was very difficult to tell as the whole stick was watery/clear coated. As it is dragged out around a bend i wonder if the oil is being spread across the stick(must be just me?)

    evens halshaw are F***ing cowboys

    Sorry to hear that pal, such a simple job you would think as the must put cars on and off ramps allday everyday! Surely it wouldnt cost them much to re-spray the whole bumper? They damaged it so they pay for it!

    Who said these cars can't be economical?

    I heard somewhere that cruise can reduce the mpg, try 60 with just your right foot might be a few mpg better? I have to be honest i often sit at 60 on mway to make up for the times that the pedal is on the carpet!;)
