Its done 123,000. Ive had it since 96,000 (about 2 years). Serviced every 10,000 with an oil change every 5,000. It doesn't get thrashed and does a lot of urban driving. It gets used for towing about half a dozen times a year, and then only a trailer.

I go over it once a week checking the usual stuff. There have been no dramatic dives in fluid levels. Seems to get through about 500ml of oil between changes - which doesn't seem bad to me. No obvious leaks.

The noise seems to be coming from the cambelt end of the rocker cover. Sounds a bit like my wifes sewing machine. Goes off once you get above 15-20mph.
