Hi Rhys,

Did mine last Jan at 230K I think... it all started that week with the -50 degree winds parked 14 hours outside.... then collant was slowly entering the crankcase....

Good since then after I re-did it with the elring kit.

P.S. Remember I bought the virgos from you . They have been put to good use and the car has looked great since then.
Regarding the vibrations though... I have now noticed that three of the four tires have flat spots - not a balance issue. I had bought new C.Tire Predators... I hate them, never again. anyhow just 1.5 years later they are almost bald- I drive a lot. So new ones coming next spring.
The Michelin Xones were soooooo much better it's not funny...
