    valver mileage

    Ive been looking at getting a valver for a while now but worried bout high mileage ones. When the mileage gets into the 100,000s are they gonna fall apart? What sort of mileage will these go upto?
    any help appreciated

    I've got an RSi, on 124k now, solid as a rock, done god knows how many track dasy etc etc.

    Engines are pretty soound, its the rets of the car, look for rust, and normal stuff like suspension system, exhaust etc ete

    thanks for that just was making sure if i bought a high mileage one it werent gonna die on me. The 1.2 is just to slow now 80mph max has good to acceleration upto bout 40 then it struggles the rest of the way.

    123k on the clock and touch wood, she's still as good as ever, if not better!

    Ran 120bhp at the wheels and she's fairly standard!
