Yup.
I was looking at the road and not the phone.
I kept hitting the shutter button and checked them when I got home.

OK, so I was a ~900 miles out

Engine feels like nearly new (only had new injectors and new turbo (blew left/right seal due to driving with blocked DPF))
Auto gearbox feels like new, just 2 oil changes.
Front and rear differentials had fluid change at ~190,000 miles (need to do transfer case)
Front suspension arms replaced once with mickey mouse bits and next time with TRW.
Never had air suspension problems. (touch wood)
Wheel bearings are original (touch wood)

Best car I every had and not even interested in changing it as it has almost everything most 2014 cars have apart from very exotic stuff.

My D3 just went over 114000 today.
D2 is less at around 111000.

No proof as yet (D2 on axle stand waiting to be put back together tomorrow and D3 at a garage having work done!)
