To make it as nice to drive as his stilo
Now past 500,000 km

One of my friends has a 1.9 JTD with over 356 000 km (about 230 000 miles)

Gerrard (JTD) just done 205,000 miles. The (OE) clutch flywheel is sounding a bit ropey and the a/c condensor has a hole in it... otherwise all good.

Got a 1.6 from 2002 with 260.000km and original clutch. Replaced it this week because some Italian designer thought it was a good idea to put a service hole in the gearbox housing. Dropped a screw in there when i replaced the thermostat.....

I suspect another Designed a rubber bung for your safety..

1.9JTD Estate. 17 years old, in same ownership last 10 years, used like a skip, original engine and gearbox, maintained by me. Been all round the country from Glasgow to Great Yarmouth, Margate, Isle of Wight and Devon. Been used for tip runs, house removals and has hauled a Toyota Hilux 4wd gearbox in the boot, with a ton of trailer on the back, up a steep hill. 320k miles and still going. When this dies, I've bought another one which is waiting in the wings. New one has been in storage last three years as the current ride just won't die !!

My old beast has lugged an Alfa Twin-Spark engine (to fix the car I bought to drive around in while I was fixing the car before that.. long story! )

I did spot a JTD SW on fleabay a few weeks ago.. and it did make me start drooling at the mouth.. but the Younger Mrs S. has banned me from buying any more cars until I fixed at least one of my projects...

Its a common problem that, you are not alone.
