    If everything else stacks up I wouldnt let it be a showstopper, at 5000 miles the oil is coming out as clean as it went in

    Hi, thanks for all your comments re the extended oil change. I have now bought the car subject to handing over the money and agreeing a collection date with the current owner once the cherised plate is transferred.

    Dave, in answer to your question re what one its 187, a members car on this site. It was after hearing your V8 when I came to test drive your ZTT 190 back in Feb that I got the bug. As a result of driving your ZTT I have ended up with a very low mileage 75 diesel tourer and a 260 to add to my MGF Abingdon VVC, as you may have guessed I am a Rover/MG fan.

    I look forward to joining the club proper once I have got the 260 in my paws. Regards John

    I recall Rincewind posted that when MGR were testing they felt that they could go a lot longer than 5,000 mile changes, but Ford were having none of it!

    Can't recall how far they were willing to take it.
