175,000+ miles on mine (1996) and still on the original, no intention on changing it unless actually needed

oh ok i must me confused as i thought there was a life span on them just like the rover K-series engine but better: lol

IIRC, from RAVE, then the "official" figure is 250K - but, as everyone above has said, if it ain't broke, ...... you know the rest

And

And if it is BROKE HIT IT with A BIG F000KIN HAMMER ! And if it's owt to do with electrics get some F00000ker else to fix it !

I was tempted to find some time to remove the head, freshen it up and plonk it on again but mechanics told me to leave it well alone.
