Really thought I'd better type a profile out, for my own benefit as much as anyone else
I've had Nigella (Mrs named her, as there's NG in the plate, but it suits
) since April 2002.Thought I might change to an S2K at some point as many do, but quite frankly I decided against it as I prefer the Lude.
Now done 173k and still pulling like a train. Well it made it to 176k before I decided to go for a new engine, spec below
I've had all recent work done by Richy at PAW, - the only person I trust to work on my car other than myself these days.
