I thought my MY99 with 55k on the clock was reasonably high, but obviously not.

I'll get me coat

New clutch, oil seals, PAS pump. That's about it. No smoke. Turbo still sweet. Smooth and fast . FSSH.

97,500ish on a MY96 Turbo, currently using my motorcycle as much as possible to keep the miles off the car as I want it to last another 4years...

It is the best all round car I have owned and intend running it in to the ground!...

Currently doing around 40,000miles a year.. 20,000miles in the car and 20,000miles on the bike...

Not a single problem with the car, touch wood... still original clutch.. front disks are getting a little waffer thin...

Rear wiper motor is the only failure so far that I can think of..
