mileage means nothing - part of the reason I'll sell that particular car is that it doesn't have enough mileage on it

Indeed. I'd take my 120,000 mile MV6 that I've owned since 4 years / 40K old, over anything advertised with a low mileage these days. What's the betting that "FVSH" is based on the 20K mileage interval and that it hasn't had annual servicing as it should with such low usage?

None - annual service I'm 'fraid.

I knew this old chestnut would raise its head - wish I hadnt bothered starting this thread now. All the miserable old far*s start grumbling.

i do apologise too many curries recently Grin

Really the mv6 is a sporty cdx than an alternative to the elite (opens another can of worms )

Yep.

Not to mention when they develop a mind of their own and start opening when you least expect it.

I had one in my last car, for about 8 years. Don't recall ever using it.

If you can't take the whole roof off, might as well leave it be IMHO. Grin

Just look at my estate... Serviced by Vx all of it's 67k and it was in a worse state than my 177k saloon (oil colour wise!) Shocked

Had another oil and filter change last weekend... 4k since the previous and still coming out a little on the dark side for my liking Roll Eyes

Looks like the sump's going to be coming off it in the not too distant future too Roll Eyes

Mind you... If things go as I hope (work wise) then the car is going to see a lot of work and TLC as the annual mileage will be dropping considerably Thumbs Up!

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

UPDATE: Car sold for near asking price - congrats to the seller coz it aint worth that by a mile. Back to the 'project' car then...
