The car has worn the miles well with only the Alternator needing replacing and a new exhaust downpipe. I have also replaced the tappets to eliminate the slight ticking noise caused by the high mileage.
This car is excellent, it has been very reliable considering the mileage, it still pulls like it has 30000 on the clock.
It handles just right, nice and flat around corners, although the ride may be a little harsh for the British roads.
I have yet to find any rust on the car and goes through mots without any problems.
September of 2002, I reconditioned the head, ground the valves etc, and added a new standard cam. What a difference, it's a totally different car, much better on pick up and a lot more pull above 4000rpm. If your CVH has more than 100000 miles its very worthwhile to do this.
