They've been bolting that engine into things since the mid-80s, so by the time yours got screwed together it had undergone over 20 years' development and refinement. If you're looking for an "it's broken and can't be fixed" reason to replace it, you may be out of luck.

I love engines like that.

Around here 42+ mpg is a great day, but when you're paying Brit petrol prices, more is definitely better. Welcome to the party.
