Hi, new member here so sorry if this is in the wrong place, and HI!(Y)
Ive just bought a 52 plate k11 with 47000miles for a bargain price, the previous owners have mislaid the service history whist recently moving, a likley story i know but i gave them a very low offer expecting them to refuse it but they ummmd and arrd and accepted it. happy days!
Over all its very clean appart from having a knock on the front which will require a new door and wing, mabie a bumper unless i can fix it, its only cracked.
My main concern is how long its gone without and oil change. the last stanp in the book is at 27000, and having done the oil change today its obviosly loooong overdue. If, as evedence suggests, its gone for 20000 miles without a change, is the engine likley to be toast? They said it was last changed around a year ago, but ill take that with a pinch of salt fwn It sounds ok when running but i cant take it for a run yet as its off the road until the damage is fixed. Before the oil change it had a funny constant squeek once it was warmed up, but with the new oil its now gone.
Ive heared that these engines are very dependent on their oil changes, so if its gone for 20000 miles without one, have i dropped a clanger? Mind you, for what i paid for it, its all good.
#EDIT# Actualy, now that its been running a little longer the squeek is still there, only does it when its warm, on idle.
