I had to replace an oil sump 24 hours before leaving for Lemans(Lesson learnt: Never service a car a weekend before you go away) and I had my Head Gasket go last month.
Next year my Gearbox will need replace as it making a hell of a noise now.
All in all I ve had a good laugh in it this year.
I have a low miles PG1 gearbox sitting at the garage waiting for a new owner you want it?? make me an offer.......or PM me for further details
Mine is doing REALLY well. It has been to mid France earlier this year too towing a very large caravan, and never missed a beat. The key is to ensure the vehicle is always kept well serviced and generally looked after BEFORE things go wrong. Mileage from Feb 06 to date = 16,000 to 41,000 miles.
