Yep still going. Just gone past the 200,000 mile mark this weekend. Cosmetically its lost some of its shine, but mechanically apart from the EGR Valve issue its in reasonable condition.

Just come back from Portsmouth tonight and the performance is a lot better now with the EGR Valve blanked off, its pulling up hills in 5th gear again and it was bombing along at 85mph and felt like it had performance to spare.

Greg who I bought it off was asking about it the other day, he regrets selling it to me. I'll let him know it's topped the 200K, that'll amuse him.
