Its on 67k at the moment but it had a new clutch at 29k due to master cylinder failure and they didnt replace the dmf. Its always been a bit dodgy but today it got much louder lol
Shame i didnt get the video a bit earlier. it was shaking so violently that you could see all my paperwork on the passenger seat moving around lol

Company car Tom. I'd be a failure if i wasn't abusing it
Nah don't forget 90% of my driving is London driving which obviously puts a fair strain on it.

I don't think cams are a new invention? Just a shame they allowed the polish or whoever to make them out of thier finest cheese really. I've been surprised by how much of my nice reliable german car wasn't actually made in Germany! The head was made in Poland... The shell was made in spain. The climatronic was made in France. Nothing is actually German, no wonder it was shit.

no i dont. dont be so silly!
Tom most cars are not built where people think they are. And also, most parts are not made in the same country as the car is assembled.

Yeah I'm aware of that, I just kinda assumed the more 'delicate' parts would be made in Germany seeing as thats what the Germans are good at, didn't find much made there at all though lol.

Calm down Rupert Murdoch is admitted it before. But still, tom i dont want to shock you but your car was only assembled and partly designed in france.
