my MY05 has lasted 6k, the car is 6 month old, 1 blown engine, a fueling problem previous to this, a diff problem, 2 faulty sensors.

dear me, all that really makes me sound like a **** driver eh, but, the tyres are all still in good condition, so i cant abuse it that much eh...

make of that what you will.
