as above, how many miles on avarage are they capable of b4 the engine dies? If they've been reasonably looked after.
and seeing as mine had a complete overhaul a year or so ago, new gaskets, filters, and everything thats included in a service, as well as having everything steam cleaned . ( it ahs been serviced regularly as well - every 10-12 months) how many should I expect

Whats your average mileage a year? It should be ok provided you look after it but you'll probs have lots of little probs which become well annoying!
