Mines on over 130k and still goes rather well,Ohh and miles has a phase1 near the 300k mark.So treat it good and it'll last you. Supercharged sigma take a look here Clicky.

There's still a fair amount of life left in her yet then!
That sigma is awesome. Not so sure on the blue and white colour combo though...

Oh Joey........check the rear centre pull out drawer......think it's in there. Sorry forgot to mention about that haha!

And OI trust me, that engine's a belter! LOL

Had the cambelt and all ancillaries changed by Carl @ Mechanical Repairs.......you give it regular oil and filter changes and it will do as many miles as you want it to as far as i can see!

It is a fantastic engine and i've never ever ever had a problem with it once regarding tapping, or not starting due to an actual engine fault!

Knocked the engine knock switch once which was fun but that was user error, Miles does have a very high mileage one that just keeps on going, as DM said - who knows....in a few years i might buy it back Laugh

Psjunkie had it, then Pugpete and it really was looked after by him, then i bought it from Pete and it was my pride and joy, now it's your turn......

As a cheap check you could always change the few engine sensors the car has, which would definitely mean that the engine's o2 readings etc were absolutely right and it wasn't overfuelling etc.... worn sensors can make a difference as some other members on here have found.

I'll have a good rummage and see if I can find it tomorrow, don't need it urgently - but it'll be easier to find now. rather than in a few months time!

Hahaha, I never said it wasn't a good engine - just didn't know how long they generally last. It does feel Really strong, so I can believe it's a 'good one'!
You might be waiting a while for the for sale thread - it's been my favourite car I've owned so far! Thumbs up

I can tell it's been well cared for; it feels brilliant. I'll only be improving and renewing things, so it's only going to get better. It'll certainly be in the club for a few more years yet Big grin

6500 RPM

I knew it was somewhere around there! Power does seem to tail off quite rapidly after that, I've found. The close ratios Really help acceleration though, I imagine if it had a 5spd box like a Xsara, it'd be a fair bit less drivable.
