    Statistically how many don't?

    oh, that's easy....

    Where X = total no engines, then:

    (Statistically how many don't) = X - (Statistically, how many of them actually do )

    :D

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    We've had a fleet of VWs, mostly renault now.

    However, the con-rod out through the block was extremely common. Nearly all the vans experienced this eventually, at anything between 300,000 and 500,000km.

    They were serviced regularly and spent 99% of there time doing approx. 350-400 miles per day.

    They do fail. It is common.
