Hola a todo, hay una refrán equivalente en castellano para decir Life in the old dog yet ? Hay vida en el viejo aún , me suena pero no hace justicia a la frase, creo yo?

This is the only translation I found online:

"No esta muerto quien pelea" (He who fights is not dead)

According to our dictionary, word life (4 (liveniness), 5th example, Copyright © 2006 Chambers Harrap Publishers Limited)

there's life in the old dog yet -> todavía le queda mucha cuerda

Of course, I would like the idiom Marianne has found out.
