You speak for yourself :-) In the last 3.5 years I've averaged 20,000 miles a
year, 1.43 overdrives a year, 0.85 gearboxes a year, 0.571 cylinder heads and
approx 1.7 UJ's per year. Who says I thrash it??? :-) And on the subject of
trunnion oiling, I'll oil mine regularly(ish) but have still managed an average
of 1.142 per year, thats 3 broken and one bent!!! :-) But I love this car!
Rich
ps, for those who can't be bothered to add up, that's 5 overdrives, three
gearboxes, 2 cylinder heads and about 6 UJ's!!! I'm still on the original
engine though, Oh, I forgot, any time now I should be putting in the third
diff!!!!
