Looking back at all the old MOT's I got with mine it's now done 265000 miles! Up untill last year (When I got it) if it had a problem it was fixed straight away and was regurlarly serviced. So just keep it well maintained and it should keep going :lol:

Looked after 4 of them

2 'ate' valves at about 110000 miles
2 spat out the head gaskets, including my current one. Having done head gasket its on its way to 180000 miles and running like a dream, no valve damage evident, bores all nice and pretty... :)

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.
