[QUOTE="3706mht, post: 780532, member: 24975"] 100% .... ours is an M reg and have shook down most of the normal stuff and it has miles left on it bar an accident or a write off. This year was a zero repair year! I'm sure there will be a few bits next June. Oh thinking there was a heater resistor card. Interestingly I've read a lot of stuff recently about the environmental benefits of well maintained old gen cars. Take a look at these articles below ... is quite a few of them. I always rather assumed that the new car v old car won out in favour of the new car. Turns out to be wrong. Lot of papers out there confirming it's not the case. And credible ones. It's sort of obvious when you read the logic. Turns out a well maintained old car wins out even against a modern hybrid over life cycle... the derived CO2 is way more in the 'making' of the material. So make it last longer, even if the new model is a better mpg and CO2 emission rate and is still better in terms of life cycle emissions ... the calculation that counts. And especially as we have one that does 58 mpg and one just under 50 mpg with excellent emissions.
