Well its been a while since I've done an update, not much to tell really. The car is where I want it and has travelled 5000 faithful miles with me in the last two months. It was due an oil service so I decided it would be a good opportunity to renew the gearbox oil at the same time - not fun trying to remove drain and fill plugs which are 12 years old!
Filthy:
Much better
Couple of miles on her now

Very nice, tidy and understated - just what I like about cars! How's it running after 147k? I'd imagine it's been well looked after based on your posts?!

Alex - Fair play mate certainly a grown ups car! haha
cglobe - Its running great, needs a new coolant temp sensor as it idles a bit high on cold mornings and I'm sure the turbo is grumbling a little bit, no affect in performance its just making some subtle noises ringing alarm bells. I've been hitting 60-62mpg average and the service book is almost full so i'll need to buy another! Service history is very good on this little one

No major updates to report. I started getting a rattling noise from the rear, after some investigation it became apparent the top hat on one of my rear coil overs had given way, phoned up the supplier who had never come across the issue before.
New strut ordered & fitted and we are back to a nice quiet ride again.
Whilst at it I also finally fitted the coolant temp sensor in hope this would solve the random high rev's on warm startup - glad to report the issue is now resolved.
