I guess then my T5 with 124k is only just run in then!!

I'm still 50/50 on getting a LPG conversion but since I have no plans to sell the car now it may be worthwhile

I bought my 855R last year with 152,000 miles on the clock. Now with 166,000 and LPG fitted. Decided it was worth it if I kept the car for a while and the gas system has already saved me half the money of the installation.

I've spent a lot of money on refreshments over the last few months (suspension mounts, bushes, track roads, arb drop links etc), well worth it as the car drives so much better.

Good to see two people here with 200k miles plus on their R's as they must be under more stress than a n/a engine in an 850.

I do drive an 'R' though!

Very impressive mileage (400k plus on your 850)!
