106,500 miles on the clock and running quite well. It's had a new clutch, cambelt & tensioner, auxiliary belts, water pump, alternator, front shocks and front brake hoses in the last year (phew). In the next year it's likely to get another 30,000 miles put on it, the MOT is new but advisory on brake line corrosion.
The question is, do I plan a rolling maintenance to get another 50,000 odd miles out of it or ditch it as soon as it starts to get troublesome? Will the drivetrain last another 50,000 miles and is it just a matter of time before the injectors and/or crank sensor fail? Is anything else likely to fall apart if I try to push it for another 18 months? What do you think?
