I've not updated this thread in nearly 12 months, so here we are.

Replacement header tank was installed, and all is good again with no coolant loss.

The D3 passed it's last MOT in July with flying colours, not even a single advisory.

I'm now on 160K miles, and just coming up to 4 years of ownership and she is running as well as ever.

However.

My work situation has changed, my commute has changed from 1 miles to 18 miles each way so I find myself hardly using the D3 at all.
Usage had reduced when I got the Volvo to drive to the new office, but I'll soon be spending every day in the new office instead of two or three each week.

Running two cars is a right pain now, I've almost replaced both cars a number of times now but never pull the trigger as the D3 is such a good car. At some point the head will win, next year she will need another cambelt change for example. but for now it's still outside.
