74K, or there abouts on my 16v :rolleyes:
A slight deviation here, at work, we regulary serviced a Peugeot 607 HDi, used by a Taxi firm, for airport runs,  about 4yrs ago, the mileage went back to zero, after completeing 500K!!!    three months ago, the same car was written off, after someone pulled out on the driver, the mileage was 480K!! grand total, 980K, all that ever went wrong with the car in that time, was a blown up turbo, due to the catalyst being blocked, (apart from usual service items)

damn. the plan was to run my 217k 8v into the ground giving me the excuse to buy a newer one... thats not guna happen for a long time now then!!


I don't think a semi will give the same results

145k on my 8v, don't feel so bad about it now, seeing other people's milages!

Runs ok although uses more oil than it should and has some temperature issues sadly....

Oh well, getting a full rebuild and blueprint for my birthday anyway  :grin:

If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?
