im the same with mines..just nipping about i get 120miles to £20...much better on a long run tho.
problem wise i have none to report..needed rear arms done,but thats a cheap wear n tear part.
engines are great,well serviced and cam belt done when needed and shouldnt be any problems...mines is just about 104k miles now.
