Indeed - it seems to sit around 2k at 70mph (or maybe a bit faster ) - barely ticking over.

Couldn't resist a gratuitous opportunity to show both together. Looks like the AB LE is going to hang around for a bit - it spent the weekend moving trailers on the farm in relatively deep mud - its currently unrecognisable colour wise.

So things have just been a bit quiet recently as the TDV8 starts its life up and down the M4 each week. Its already done 7,000miles and recently had a small service and all the diffs done. I think I'm going to book it in for the gearbox fluid shortly, it just doesn't quite feel 100% when its cold. That and the flipping annoying press the start button and nothing but a click. I know on here several say operate the wipers first but that really only gets it about 80% of the time - will get it in for a starter motor under warranty soon. Bought a Gap tool recently and been playing with that - managed to program a new key I bought off eBay as it only came with one - pleased with that. Set up the DRL's and the digital speed reading

Hi Nick - how are things with the original ff? Has the mileage crept up much? I meant to ask do you have the noisy vanos on once warm that most of the high milers do? Current stable:

All good here Dan - yes the mileage is a little over 196k now. There is a slight vanos rattle when it’s idling but nothing really that concerns me Current Fleet:-

Excellent - have you had the steering angle sensor go yet? Mine failed at Xmas and looks like i got a lemon as it’s gone again and you can’t really fit it wrong! Yes my vanos rattle is not too concerning but there after she’s nice and warm (silent when cold) just coming up on 172k myself - my challenge is 3 more years - which will be about 250k the way things are currently I may be being a bit hopeful Current stable:

So the Westie has now clocked up 10,000miles already! Could barely see through the windscreen coming home on Friday night, all the bug splatter so extracted the diesel powered hot pressure washer we have for the farm machinery and gave it a good blast - but of course now all back on again after its Sunday night slog back up the M4. However fairly moot point as somewhere around Reading a large stone cracked the front screen. If its not one thing.....

Its been a quiet few months - the Westie has just turned 93k so reckon that by early January that will be 25,000 in the first year. Its just had another service and the gearbox drained and refilled - definitely feeling a lot smoother now although my mechanic said the oil didn't look that bad. I picked up a crack in the windscreen a few months ago but with MOT coming up in a few weeks time to get it changed. Glad I left it as I picked up another chip just last week. The perils of M4 driving.

Totally off topic Nick, but is your dog a Bernese?
