Mine didn't quite last a year before I started to hear them rumble. Bit disappointed really as they were from bell too. I thought it was from when I had to go through the floods though. Still I got gkn this time round

Been through as much floods as possible with my GKN and no probs at all... I know they are dear, and the prices have rocketed up in the last couple of years, but I really think the others are a false economy. I'd rather pay more and only fit once.

Well done, but thats the problem, a lot of owners don't look after them!
you can say that again i bought a right lemon and still trying to put things right with it
delusional.
even if you do look after them, they are a crap design, poorly executed and poorly built.
no amount of servicing will stop subframe mounts breaking are HGF.

Mine is an 02 1.8 with 79000, best £700 quid I ever spent, did some work on it when I got it as it had been neglected mechanically (3 amigos were on and some clown had cut the wires trying to put em out, ABS sensor sorted that out, pair of front wheel bearings, diff mount, clutch cylinder and a window winder) changed all fluids and serviced it. Head had been done with a big fat receipt to prove plus new rad, chap I bought it off said he was ill with it and it was a shed, its probably the best 4x4 I have had and I have had Mercs, a Rangey and other money pits. Check things over often and you stand a better chance of avoiding a nightmare!

Did you have one, what happened?
