I suppose I ought to change the oil on Mrs VXL's estate...  :(
The oil in the MV6 did 7.5k  :-[

Although, as its a constant loss system......    :-[

Just over 6K on her tractor, thankfully I whisked it round to the parents and used their car port to stay dry!

Correction.Its running a bit lumpy at tickover and slightly reluctant to pickup from tickover on gas,fine on petrol. Just took it for a drive and the classic dispack misfire has gone,it revs cleanly through the gears on both petrol and gas,so a reasonably successful day. :)
