getting on now

[caprixpack]

well the se9 passed the 168000 mile mark last night can't believe i've done 42000 miles in it

[Mark1]

Mines just past 64000 and may do 3 miles between now and 1st April.

[caprixpack]

bloody hell, i bought it to use when the 3.0i capri was in bits having a new engine built, and when i sold the capri i had intended for the calibra to replace it and get something cheap to use daily but couldnt bring myself not to use it every day. has been on 3 trips down to south france and planning next years run around europe which i'm hoping to include the nurburgring and Switzerland, although would never risk the calibra on the ring will hopefully be renting an alfa 75 3.0 v6 from rsr again

[vec 160]

The v6 is just run in at 100K as long as regular oil changes have been done

[caprixpack]

yeah oil change every 5 to 6k miles usually with mobil 1 super 2000 thinking about trying fully synthetic next time though any recommendations

[Callyman]

If you are changing it every 5/6k then 10/40 semi is perfectly ok.
The VX 10/40 semi is a very good oil, and If you are a member on here you'll get it for @£12
Dont waste ya money.

[v6 steve]

if i was to change my oil every 6k it would only get done ever 2nd or 3rd year need to get it out more next year

[caprixpack]

I can't use it for work, they would kill themselfs and me in it.

[Allys Cally]

mines is sitting at about 96k i think, although i have stopped using it to go back and forth to my work now. just piling the miles onto the astra instead

[rich30mex]

The v6 is showing 158k I got here with 89k

And the le has 123k had her about 6months and she had 117k when I got her

[craigyboy]

Ive only done 100 000 in mine Got it at 24k
always changed the oil every 6 months

[BazV6er]

mines on 124k now nearly 4 years ive owned mine and i had a close shave the other day when i was driving around our village i happened to see what looked like a rock on the road and the car infront drove over it and i did the same and next thing i heard was a loud bang (pulled over checked underneath and luckily everything was fine no fluids leaking thankgod .

Maybe next weekend when i change the oil (yes this time i will be doing it properly and not getting into bother with it like last year) i may see a dent somewhere as it happened to be a flint i drove over but because my car was lowered slightly thats why it clanged.

[poita]

136000km in mine.

not bad for a 1995 model

although i swear its been off the road more than on the road during its lifetime!

[garyb]

My Purple turbo is now on 130,000 miles.

Given that over the last 25k it's had 3 engines, 3 suspension setups, and had replaced front wings, most(all?) bushes, all cv's & d/shafts, both rear 1/4 panels, both doors, all brakes, complete new rear suspension end (arms, arb,diff etc)etc..and most importantly almost all sensors and wiring....it still feels like new. Just a bit quicker than showroom of course.

I had a Calibra XE that did silly miles in it's time - moved from London to Sardinia with it (12 return trips?) plus a few Malaga/ Gibraltar & Germany/ Austria runs let alone 'local' tours around N.Italy & Corsica. It was a high-ish miler when I bought it - 75k in 5 years. I doubled that in under 2 , lol.
