Mine current car 2002 02, 3.6 has had two...

One factory after about 5k and one by Powers in 2006 at 34k, currently running like a dream (touch wood) no oil used in 2000 miles and on inspection by Mat Smith apparently still in very good health with hardly any wear... That's what I want to hear before handing him the money for the 12k service wink

Lots of early 2000/01 cars had multiple rebuilds back in the days when the factory were doing them FOC as the same parts were being put back in until the back end of 2002. A few had got through 3 or 4 by the time they'd done 20k miles. Mine had it's first at 8k and the second at 14k miles.

My 2000 Tuscan had a top end rebuild in 2004, lasted 18 months and failed big style with the Indian conrod syndrome. 2006 Tuscan has just got better with more miles.

In the days of the TOG one owner of an early red rose Tuscan had seven re-builds, in the end they gave him a new engine!
