Thanks to Toms306's eagle eye I have an update to share, sadly...
Upon being told the rev counter was wrong and I had a petrol display, I did some digging (following a suspicion of mine that maybe the whole unit was from another car) and found on the Governments MOT history request form that between 2007 and 2008 she was clocked...
I've worked out the correct reading is about 140,000 miles.
No this isn't great news due to thinking it was 84,000 miles but hey ho we live and learn, doesn't change how much I love this car and will just have to tackle some wear and tear problems sooner than I anticipated.
Does this make it more likely to be the injectors causing the issue as they've done more miles than first assumed? Will for sure update Wednesday when I've been to the garage.
