The car has finally been retired (and the replacement registered). It got to 450,000 k's with the (original) engine and gearbox still running strong. The engines oil pressure light comes on when oil gets hot which as I understand indicates a worn engine. Anyway whatever the reason it's deregistered and will provide parts for the next one. Same model but 134,000 k's. Such a nice drive. Hopefully another few hundred thousand k's to go.

Cheers.
