    so long as you look after the car, regular oil changes, don't thrash it you should get high miles.

    Once saw a volvo 850 go through an auction house with 400,000+ miles on it, drove through and sounded sweet, body work was tidy too!
    That was completely normal for 90s volvos!

    Yet the Duratorq in Mondeos is the exact same engine as the DW10/DW12 HDi.

    As has already been explained, there are significant differences - plus this one was a pre DPF, pre floating flywheel variant.

    How many cars can do this? Looking at real mpgs on honest john or what car not many.
    Even a new Skoda Octavia 1.6TDi is saying 56.8mpg(HJ)
    A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

    A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
    the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.
