Assuming I have regular servicing, drive normally, treat it with care etc etc, what milage could I expect from my 500 diesel mulitijet engine gearbox assembly before it sounds like a bucket of nails and becomes unservicable?

150-200k???
most diesels will see 200k no problem,,, 100k would be the time to change, so about 6 years driving, and a lifespan of 12 years
I'm sure plenty will happen in the coming years to distract you from the impending destruction of your engine....

My panda is on 43K no prob but as recommended by honest John of the telegraph it gets an extra oil cx in between services
scotland winning the world cup etc etc
only because you do have to drive the MJ pretty hard to make reasonable progress.
You don't specify a sport but for cricket or fitba' thats an entirely different parallel universe sort of thing, nothing to do with 'time'.

Been there, done that.

i have seen some terrible abuse of fiat diesels and they always soldier on
for example an uno 1.7 td that had the oil light come on after the oil had turned to sludge as it had not been changed in 7 years so removed sump scoped it out refiled and flushed then droped refiled again and it was still fine
a guy broke the alloy sump on his car 1.9 bravo td100 and because we had just serviced it he thought is was something we had done so drove it with the oil light on from kendal to windermere and no oil in the sump because he figured any damage that was incured would be our fault how wrong was he new sump and new oil no problem still going
seen a 1.9 8v 130 grade go to 8k rpm indicated on the ecu after it sucked some oil after a turbot failure i put examiner on afterwards to see what it had done lol and something like 8275rpm it was pretty loud and cause a windermere wide black out but it was still fine
our old doblo van had a 1.3 m jet 75 in it and it spent about 99.9 percent of it's life on the limiter or above it induced buy a duff gear change oops my bad we were ripping pirelli tyres down to nothing in 9000 mile to give you some idea lol
tbh i wouldn't be surprised to see 500k miles on a fiat diesel clock and i'm not joking
insidentally i have seen 250k on a 1242 petrol:slayer:
Exactly I don't know why people here are suggesting such low numbersMy 2007 Grande Punto 75bhp Multijet has hit the 392000KM (243500 miles)
Still on original gearbox. Only had to change the usual suspension components that the pot holes in rural Ireland wreck and a MAP sensor.
Owned from since Sept. 2008 (got an excellent deal from Fiat Ireland due to 2007 plate) Have religiously changed oil every 20k. Always used Castrol magnatec.
