It's like anything - if you drive it like an arsehole / abuse it and don't give it some TLC occasionally it will break down be it a car, mountain bike...........anything ! Common sense surely ? Seems to be precious little of that here lately though I have to say.......
absolutely spot on that mr s1!!

Common sense really. You can buy a shitter of an RST for 2 grand which is really bottom base for a runner. These kiddies buy one thats fucked anyway, then abuse it and wonder why it stops. Yet all these people say 'buy an BMW, they never break down'. OK - maybe it's because these cars are out of the price range of the dickheads who rag the arse off their RST and don't maintain them whereas if you spend £7k on a car you will probably look after it ?
Again, common sense.............but that lacks on PF most of the time doesn't it ?
