[VR6Rich 3]

1995 M on almost 197k. Still sounds/pulls good.

What major work have you had done to the engine to get it to 197k? Just interested from a planning point of view for me :-)

[MurZZo 0]

Nothing done on engine as far as i'm aware (only had her 4months) Shockers and new front discs recently is all i know of.

Had a fright yesterday tho. Was up visiting family in Scotland, when the car seem 2 lose a bit of power and sounded tappity. A few hours later it lost almost all power and roared like zorst had fallen off. I thought i'd killed it. AA guy came, and to my delight it was a spark plug that had unwound and popped out. Never had that happen b4.

Anyways, if i find anything else that has been done i'll let u know.

for how many miles have you owned it? mine made no noise at 165K, only because the rivets which normally cause the noise had worn away completely whilst driven by a previous owner. And half the tensioner plate was in with my cams!

[jims13 6]

174000, and just added a turbo for good measure
