running In Service

[mattCSLnut]

Matt good news to read one of our vet cesils is behaving.

I was beginning to think it all goes tits up when the odometer hits 65K.

At least we have Gareth to make everything A1 should the need arise.

:thumbs: Exactly :smokin:
My Cecil has been good to me since I got him in '09 @ 66K :beer: Changing engine oil & filter every 3K miles and having only Gareth work on him has helped to keep Cecil in tip top condition. Also, being always garaged when not in use has preserved all of the exterior components like rubber seals & the CF roof from deteriorating.
He's now into his 6th hibernation (in my ownership) all tucked in his little room with a fleecy blanket on :gayfight: and the mandatory C-Tech life support hooked up :smokin:

(Ideally 1,200mls max 1,500mls)

Where did you get that information from?
I believe its 1700 miles max.

My car had running in service late, just over 2000 miles, got a compression test done and its perfect! I would have thought that's more important than a car that had its running in service on time but doesn't have good compression

Another late running in service here too, 2100 miles. I bought mine when it was 2 years old with 17000 miles on it from a dealer together with a letter from the DP stating that they'll standover any warranty work needing carried on the engine. Needing nothing until the vanis unit at about 30k miles, since then been faultless.

Mine was run in at 1000miles and has been 100% reliable, not an unnecessary penny spent on it in 104k miles

I said UN-NECESSARY

You should have gone into politics. :hahaha:

[cslsuperfan]

running in service

The highest one I saw was 4030 miles

At the time (2007) it was a big deal

But as most have alluded to- compression test, SH, & overall condition are the bench marks to purchase

I don't want to tempt fate, but my Cesil has also been great since I got it in 06.

One broken spring & leaky diff.

You bought a belter!!

You can say that again. Don't know if it makes any difference but I like to drive it at least every two weeks (snow permitting)

I hope Skelts is reading all the threads

The Running in service issue that was, just isn't anymore.

I read UN-NECESSARY the funny bit was the "100% reliable" comment :smokin:
