Mine is just ticked over on 151,000 miles and is still going strong, gear box went 2,000 miles ago, I was quite impressed it went for so long. With the new clutch and gear box in both wheel bearing went, to top it all off they were the original ones (so it would seem). So to treat her I brought the G-laderseite anti roll bar blocks.
