Yes, you really do need to get out more
(assuming that the vehicle's still serviceable after such a mileage)

pm is an abbreviation for 'after noon' (post meridien)

True. but the leading zero in "05:06" is an indication that it's a 24-hr clock time, therefore am.
No... 'post meridiem'

I think I'm aware of that. I'm not sure what your getting at.
Don't think there were many carb'd 214's made. Did they use the same engine in the metro though? I had a 1.1 metro with SU KIF carb, not sure if they put a carb'd version of the 1.4 in the metty though.
There were a few early 8v 214's with SPi, not many though as the 16v version was more popular.

True - I'd like to say it was my typo, but it wasn't! Ta for that.
That's a lot of services!!!! has it ever left the garage?
Once upon a time I was very naughty and allowed a friend in the trade clock a v.old Citroen Visa we had in the family and which he had taken as a trade in. The suggestion was to put 59000 miles on it. What no-one realised was that the odometer read to 1,000,000 miles and not 100,000 plus tenths as usual. The result was a reading of 590,000 miles, which was probably nearer to the truth anyway.
Not nearly as embarrassing as the other gentleman who had a Jaguar with an eltronic speedo clocked. The plonker who clocked it didn't do it right with the result that it re-set itself whilst he was giving a customer a test drive.
