That 'L' sticker is an invitation for other drivers to bully you on the road...just do without it and take things one step at a time The harder you work, the luckier you get

If the mileage is past 100,000km, ask if engine has timing belt. If yes, ask if it was ever replaced. Replace this at every 100,000km to avoid abrupt engine failure.

They usually kula two lanes when exiting the roundabout, so you have to watch out. The harder you work, the luckier you get

Make that 80,000km. Reason being, you never quite get one whose quality is as good as the 'original' one. I learnt that the hard way. Oh how I wish all manufacturers used a chain instead. Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

There are those who drive past 140,000KM without any problems. However, most manufacturers recommend the change every 50,000-60,000 miles. This translates to 80,000-96,000KM. A change somewhere within that range is OK.
