charger is important...check it's been serviced regularly, it can be expensive to fix/replace.

also have a look at this thread http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,138.0.html

with a lot of high mileage g40's about i reckon its important to check

it really depends if the charger has had any work done to it. i reckon every 20-25 thousand miles is a good bet to keep it in good nick. also i read that if you have a smaller pulley even more often.

hmmm id say 20-25k on smaller pulley...many g40's have done well over 100k on original chargers... so a i rebuilt one on standard pulley should last well with regular oil changes and clean air filters.
