You got that right, and there a bit faster then petrols as well
.Quite fancy the remap to get more power in middle of next year sometime when i am rolling in a bit more money.
We've got a 51 plate espace at work with 160k on it - still going strong and just about to go from Taunton, to Spa, to Valencia, to Estoril, and then back to Hockenheim and then back to Taunton in it!!!
Diesel??? sounds good....
the two best i have know up to now has been my dads citroen bx 1.7 diesel which did 234k before we sold it for 300 quid.... then his montego 2ltr turbo diesel which had 217k before it popped the head gasket.....

02 JTD Dynamic 97,000 on first dash, now showing 26,000 on the replacement dash.
Deduct the 12,000 that the 'new' dash had on it when I put it in, and the Stilo has done around 111,000.
Gearbox is slick, engine is brillliant, pulls well, very little smoke under hard acceleration, easy MOT emmissions pass.
I'm just getting rattled by the constant 'warning' lights etc. Haven't a clue about previous maintenance I've had it about 18 mths.
Interior has stood up quite well, a few plastic bits missing, and some of the paint has worn off on the gearknob, apart from that it looks good.
Getting an average of 52-55 mpg, on a 10 mile (country) run to work.
I could rattle on about other cars I have owned, but this is a Stilo thread !

Defo agree its how you look after a car that counts. My mates got a Fiat Coupe 20V LE thats done 144,000 miles and it still looks/runs like a dream. Its modded up to about 275 BHP at the mo and he treats it like a lady - pumps it often but loves every inch and is sooperb - so good in fact I'm thinking of getting another after previous 16V ownership....

The Fiat Coupe is a lovely car!
I managed 236k on a C reg BMW 318 Coupe..........sold it with a year's MOT - for all I know its still going now!

I totally agree and have been toying about selling my beloved CB1300 and getting either a Coupe Turbo or an Alfa 3.0 GTV.

If you go for an Alfa and have the money and time to search for one get a 156 GTA SW! :slayer:

I've always loved the lines of the GTV but the GTA is a beast!
My gf's brother-in-law has one in Alfa red, looks the business and goes like stink!
Pah bunch of low mileage wimps....
I had a Hyndai Pony 1.5 GLS from new and put 153,000 miles on it before I sold it.
Then bought a Rover 620 SDi with 114,000 miles on the clock, kept it for about 4 years and sold it with 165,000 miles on it.
The had my first Fiat, a Brava 1.6 from new which I kept for 18 months and px'd it with 24,000 mile on the clock.
I then got the MW with 3,000 miles on the clock, I've had it now for 4.5 yrs and it now has 114,500 miles on the clock. Only had the cam belt changed at 105k miles.

Show off!
52 JTD Multiwagon now with 87000 miles, FSH and am only now having problems with egr.
Rear suspension bushes lasted until 80k and front discs at 70k along with silencer.
I'm just on 2nd set of rear tyres and 3rd set of fronts.
Not without electrical gremlins but nothing that hard to fix.
Maintenance is key keep on top of it and Stilo's are excellent car and I'm a foolishly fast driver, so car isn't handled gently.
Dynamic, 17" alloys, connect+, remote audio, xenons, climate, electric seats, parking sensors, skyroof, cruise control, alarm.

My brother averages 100K a year on his cars, he takes a lower class for tax reasons. The two Megane-II's didn't fair well bless them, he's currently in a 57 Auris with 18K which is doing well, but rattling like a bug*er!
