Original clutches, gearbox, engine, exhaust, turbo, cat, driveshafts and windscreen!
It’s had a TCM and a second hand rlink screen as non wear and tear consumable items and suspension, brakes and tyres as expected wear and tear consumables.
Unfortunately it does burn oil, approx 1ltr every 1000miles. Been using Lucas oil stabiliser in it which extends the consumption to 1ltr every 2.5-3k.
Im certain that had I kept to the 12,500 service schedule it would be long dead. 5000 mile intervals have saved its life I think.

If that mileage on a car that’s 19 years old will make it an impossible sale then I may as well drive mine right into the crusher 😂😂
You know my thoughts on the situ @frayz 😁
The card I have is a dealer update card. Technically it’s not mine 🫣 so I can’t just send it off to anyone as I do have to return it at some point. Might be worth popping into your local dealer and asking them?
hello and welcome to CS!
First of all you are not alone! I had the same issue about 100,000 miles ago and was one of the very first to come across it.
First thing (and cheapest option) is to change the battery as these monsters are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations. If that doesn’t solve...
Another year over 😢
Not long got home and I’m just about beaten 💀
Thank you to all the CS admin and mods who work so hard to bring this event together every year 👏🏼
Same again next year (same weather would be nice too!) ?
Didn’t take many pics but here’s the ones I did take!
I changed both side inners and outers last week (not because they were worn and had play but because one had seized up and I couldn’t get the tracking done… nearly 200k on original track rods 😂
But that paired with a new ARB, wishbones and shocks this year she drives like an absolute dream now...
Little update bump!
Had these on my car for 371 days and 30,00miles, could have stretched another 1 or 2k out of them if I really tried.
Over all I’m really impressed, had a little drop in grip at around 2mm left but unnoticeable unless really pushing on.
Fuel economy is a hard one to tell...
