It's the way we've been conditioned over the years. I'm struggling with the concept of hitting 50K.

At least it will take me another 25 years to hit 100K :lol:

Unfortunately we are, as has been mentioned, conditioned to see 80,000 as the life of an engine, drivetrain and suspension. Time to ring up and get a refurbished Goldseal engine!

It’ll be fine...for another 40,000 miles anyway, as that’s when mine presented the next big bill (for a clutch & flywheel) :P

Yes.

No sign of pending failure until the day it just wouldn’t disengage.

BMW wanted over £3k for a clutch & flywheel replacement, but got an Indy to fit OEM parts for about a 3rd of that.

I guess the long, easy miles on the motorway helped, but it did do a fair number of weekend blasts, Ring trips & track days.
