Well the old Focus oil burner has just clocked up 200,000 miles 
Wonder if the Scorpio will get that far 
Anyone else got a high miler ?

My first diesel managed 255,000 before someone drove into it on the M25 which was a shame as it was in very good condition bodywise & mechanically. I still have it and it continues to donate parts to keep my others alive and running for the last 4 years
My current diesel is on 206,000 and does 600-800 miles a week and long may it continue to do so!

Hi Matt, I have a few spare injectors but they're of unknown mileage & condition internally & don't look the best on the outside either, I'd just kept them on the shelf as emergency spares if I had to replace one at short notice.

My `96 2.3 petrol has only done 126.500, and you cant hear it running from inside the car. Good job theres a rev counter!
Going by the other mileages I hope to get at least another five years out of it. Its still a head turner at traffic lights, and I often get people admiring it in car parks lamenting on how they wish they`d never got rid of theirs.
I`ve had Triumph mayflowers, Humber Super Snipe, 3 Rover 3.5 SD1`s, and a 3.4 `63 Jaguar and even a Standard Vanguard phase Two, but none of them have given me as much pleasure as the Scorp. Yes, you could say that I`m a fanboy!
cheers Fred.
