It's got 120k so high mileage but I work from home so estimated mileage over the next year will be around 6k at most. Continuing like that it'll even out 
Thanks Aly - It's never been decoked so it's booked in with amd essex in two weeks for the work. Hopefully be night and day!

Ahhh that'll be OK then, dervs are good for huge mileage, we all know that.
Petrol engines self destruct randomly at any point after 100K miles, so Ross is fucked basically.

Installed first part of media centre yesterday. Raspberry pi with wifi, controlled by Bluetooth/wifi/remote, has wifi so can stream anything on internet (spotify or iplayer or whatever). Also has 1tb drive attached for music and movies. Syncs automatically when in garage with my main media centre.
Part way through install:
Last week the car had been down at AmD in essex being decoked. It was officially the worst coking they had ever seen apparently. Down to all the motorway miles the car has done.
Now:
Power went from 334bhp before to 435bhp now. Turns out the car already had a remap on it. Combined with the miltek and a k&n gives this very healthy figure 20hp up on standard.
So as a reward I treated it to a caliper repaint today as they were quite chipped. Next I need to do the bells as they have some corrosion but I'm very happy with the calipers now.
Full LEDs all round now, drl's, sidelights and numberplates. Also fully led inside brings it up to date.
Gearbox and rear diff oil change tomorrow just for peace of mind.
That's it for now.

Like the look of the media centre mate, did you build it yourself?
