Welcome :orb_wave:

Surprised you have the time to get to the web

Most of our taxis here are SDi's, just heard of an SDi having its cluch changed @250 K miles ( it was running 27 hrs a day. ) :eek:

350k is a site record I think , what needed doing other than the usual service items?

Hello and welcome.

Is that 35k or 355k? Does your SDI have a toilet on board?

Hello

Welcome to Briskoda. That's a very impressive mileage.

Crikey - thats a lot of miles! :yikes:

I think I'd be naive to suggest that my Furby will last that long! :Yikes:

Welcome to Briskoda... :wave:

Thanks folks for the welcome's :-)

In response to your questions

The vehicle concerned was used on mainley airport transfer work to and fron Manchester / Liverpool / Leeds - Bradford Airport's

The mileage was 355000 miles !

I use Fully synthetic oil (usually Vauxhall !) and a genuine Skoda filter.

The Oil is changed every 10,000 miles

I have used several sets of front brake pads and discs !

One clutch at 295,000 miles

1 Indicator switch (Yes I am a taxi driver that uses his indicators !)

One Drivers window glass (vandal damage)

2 complete sets of Front Anti roll bar bushes and drop links

Apart from that nothing else.

Paul

Mines not!! It's a superb 130pd - Great for p***ing off boy racers

Only wish mine was half as reliable as yours has been :(

My Brother is at Preston uni but i'm quite sure thats of no interest to anyone really
