I've just turned 153,00 miles in mine.

[DominicJeans]

good huh?

 

[DominicJeans]

errr. I meant 153,000. :0)

 

[RDH]

What a random, random thread.

 

[DominicJeans]

yeah, it is a bit. Sorry.

 

[Dave Hester]

Quite impressive but unfortunately your car is now worth feck all

 

[DominicJeans]

It's been worth nothing for ages. :0) I never intended to sell it anyway.

 

[Alastair.]

There a trophy higher than that

 

[Fletcher]

Low mileage examples aren't worth much anyway.

Impressive mileage.

 

[DominicJeans]

Yeah, I am sure there's ones with higher mileage. I'm pretty pleased though as I still cane it every day.

 

[Fletcher]

Mine would have hit the 200k easily by now if it was still a daily driver.

lol. You'd be amazed. I sold my Trophy all in for just over £4k.

It had 186k miles.

How do the clios drive at 150+? Maybe a silly question

Mines on 105k now and i dont plan on selling it. Will it be good to go forever as long as its well serviced etc?

Mine is on just under 140k and it drives the same, if not better now than it did when I bought it on 45k.

166k on my 172 Cup. Just having to replace wear and tear items really, no real issues (touch wood!)

 

[DominicJeans]

Yea, it drives pretty much the same as it did before. I have a very slight 2nd-3rd gear crunch when cold and changing at low revs but it goes away when up to temperature but it's been like that since 75k or so. I still drive it the same and bounce it off the rev limiter every now and then. It's been serviced pretty regularly. All the belts and stuff have been done when specced, etc. Apart from the massively kerbed wheels and flaky steering wheel, you wouldn't notice any difference between this car and a newer/lower mileage one.

Original box/clutch then?

 

[DominicJeans]

yeah. Although a lot of my miles were commuting 100 miles a day on the motorway so the clutch wasn't in massive use a lot of the time. I would say a lot of cars at 150k had probbaly had a new clutch.

most cars should be like that if serviced/looked after properly.

Good stuff. I noticed a slight whine at 130k so had a gearbox recon done, at the same time I had a new clutch fitted (it was still spot on mind)

 

[LiamR172]

I think mine could do with a gearbox recon/replace tbh. Starting to crunch when i change to second and alot for reverse.
Im guessing its never been replaced since new so its probably for the best

Cool- I probably would anything to keep it going, even now. My biggest ever spend was on a new cat one MOT and a load of odd suspension bits. I have had some good, good times in it and love my car and want to keep it going. Although having said that, I keep finding myslef trawling ads for Ignis sports....

 

[DominicJeans]

....biggest spend apart from the belt changes, that is.

I'm no mechanic so my knowledge is limited but I had my gear oil changed and it certainly made SOME difference. You could try that first. My mechanic said that there was big clumps of congealed crap that came out of gear box.

Extra wear and tear with doing road rallies in it, takes a beating to be fair and takes it in its stride. Hillclimbs and sprints next I think.

Maybe try this before i do anything with the box itself then, thanks alot for the advice

 

[Kyle 86]

Good stuff mate my mates is on 140k it still goes like a rocket...I sold my 106 GTI with 142k on it the engines still going strong

 

[Tomas]

Ha how did you manage to get that?

 

[Wick]

My GF is pushing on to 110k in my old 182 that's a low mileage example judging by this thread!

 

[Talan]

My old Williams was on 192000 when I sold it. For almost nothing. To a pikey.
