It all depends on how new everything is and how regular you get everything checked.

When it is setup it could be 1 ace reliable RST! then 2 weeks later the old shit injectors could fail and u blow it up that way, or the age old metering unit etc etc

I have had 3 rs's now

1st series1 blew up melted no2 and no3 piston

2nd fiesta turbo 70k miler 1 lady owner that started smoking like a trooper and then gave up on the next owner

3rd 2wd cossie had 11k on rebuilt engine when grpA head gasket let go, had it rebuilt with cometic multilayer and stage3 with new t34 approx 345bhp and that just melted number4 piston with less than 20k on the motor

TBH 99% of rs's i know about have blown up
