Matt Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Am I being very cynical re the Parks of Hamilton Skoda that photographing it sans registration number would put temptation in the way of a potential purchaser having the mileage corrected before it undergoes it's first MOT in a few weeks?Service History can be misplaced so Shirley it could lose 350k off the milometer and no one would be any the wiser. Nope! I also wondered why it had had its plates removed. Ask and thou shalt receive SJ15 XWB Doctormop and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Saw this over on FB. 324k not out is a good score. There is a lovely guy over on PH called R129SL. He is such a lovely man; he 'found' my 190 for me - and supplied many parts gratis and much advice over the years. He has a w201, w210 (e430) and the w124 which is pictured below. That picture was taken last week. It's now tinkering around 370k and has had more lives than the proverbial cat.

dean36014 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My Xsara van is just about to clock 277k this weekend. The hdi diesel has a tappet rattle at tick over but runs perfectly and doesn't use any oil. If the tappets weren't bucket and shim I'd do them. I am considering changing the injectors for a lower mileage set if they are compatible. The fuel consumption on a run is always low 40's and I'm sure it should be better than that considering the bx will do 60mpg on a run. I felt sorry for abusing it so yesterday it got clean right out and is looking nice again now. mot due in may so it will get a full service by myself in April.

Assuming this is a 2.0 8v HDi, then yes, injectors are interchangeable and not coded. Being a 2004 model it should already have the later "076" injectors fitted. Fuel economy certainly sounds poor on yours - whilst it's hard to compare driving styles, to give you some idea, my 306 HDi (very similar to a Xsara under the skin) with over 200k on the clock routinely does 55mpg+ on a run, yet I struggle to get more than mid-high 40's from an XUDT driven in the same manner.

Will have to check my spares engine and see what injectors are in that. Also got an EGR valve delete plate to fit when it gets warmer. I need to get my daily bx repaired so I can service this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders59 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My 190D has just passed 236000 miles on the clock. My 3.2 Omega has 178000 on the clock. Both should be capable of doing the same again imo, if looked after . BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 635 225k ...... Mine was on 205k when I sold it in 2014. Current diesel Borat is touching 140k; CX still on 79k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dodged a bullet then because another 10k may have seen terminal brake system failure and then it would be dead for 6 months and in 100 pieces... Just like mine is now!
