Personally I don't think that's too bad for a car I bought at 72,000 and sold yesterday at 100,980. Stage 1 performance pack from 54,000 miles too so it just shows how strong these cars are.

Not one issue with the car in all that time and in all those miles.

Hi. It was from David Hendry cars so the standard stuff:

Ecutek remap to roughly 320bhp
Turbo back 3" Miltek with sports cat
Walbro fuel pump
Good panel filter

It was done long before I bought the car so was proof it could take it without any issues.

What made up your serving / repairs bill at £1500 over 28k please ?
Regular servicing with oil and filter every 5k and a major service and cam belt. The last two came to £800 in total so regular maintainance was around £180 per 10,000 for me.

Thanks , I just wondered why that part was a little higher , but the cambelt explains it. I wouldn't have asked but going from 70 to 100k I thought it might have been done before you bought it.

The car was done before I had it you're correct but that was to time where as I accelerated the next major service due to distance.
