M plate 36k

I know people running mk3's that are on 135k mate. Just treat them gently, regular oil changes dont snatch gears etc and itll give you another good 30k

I ain't got a clue how many miles my F-Reg has done, it's got an '86 Escort 1.3CVH engine in and as far as I know I've just started it on it's 2nd head :smile:

I know I've put on about 10,000 miles in about 6 months but oil changes every 3,000 miles have insured it's still running sweet.

But the idiot who owned it before me thought clocking was clever so who knows!? :mad:

on the way down to fitp 01 - was talking and apparently the 30 odd k that u brought it on was the milage of the new engne!

i think he said that it had done something like 90k but been through something like 4 engines so god knows!

Fiestaboy may be able to shed more light on it!!

Mileage is a stupid way to measure the quality of a car. It should be measure in revs, that way a car that has been driven in first all the time but with 30k on the clock will be screwed compared to a 60k granny machine. Oh I know a guy that wrote off a car before it read 1mile on the counter, movin it in the factory!

That's very true about the mileage mate.

The only problem is my engine's done 90,000+ miles and it's been ragged absolutely stupid unfortunately :mad:
