craggsy 91 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 There are a few threads like this on here so using the search would of been better....but seeing as you are new then i'll let you offMine has clicked over 156,000 now and still runs and pulls as well as when i picked it up 5 yrs ago and about 38,000 miles. Ive had no major problems, but i do deal with things straight away as I got told before buying to deal with stuff straight away as it will get more expensive to sort out if left.Oh I stuck a supercharger on mine at about 150,000 Link to post Share on other sites
