they are very old, u really should be replacing things that aren't broken yet, as they will probably soon. Once this is done, it shouldnt give u any bother.

ive had mine 9 years and only had to replace a clutch and a burnt wire to the fuel relay, and rebuild the backend due to some idiot running into it and mines ben running 200bhp for 7 of these years and was a daily runner for the first 6 years.
Just as reliable as any other car in my case guess ive been lucky
