I've had it for 5yrs the other week and I was hoping to do something on that day. Unfortunately I was on holiday with family, so I didn't get a chance to make it roll over.

I've done almost 2700 miles in it since purchase. Paultry I know but I'll use the excuse that everyone always uses, that COVID got in the way.

Anyway it rewarded me with this milestone by losing a headlight (dodgy connection) and it appears to be leaking oil out of the cooler. Could explain why I get quite high oil usage sometimes!

I should also add that it's 31c out there and the temperature gauge was rock solid where it always is. About a third way around the temperature gauge. I don't have any doubt it can easily withstand much warmer temperatures than that.
