Driven my one 16hours non stop (only 1 quick fill-up) at high motorway speed abroad and 4 days later 1k again back to UK- no problems. Did have some spare bits in the boot though!

took my v6 vec to nurburgring with vvoc  no problems and we drove preety much non-stop! bring a passenger whos competent with the car if your driving nonstop so you can take a break

take a c/s sensor as a guys broke in our convoy easy job to change can be done at roadside on a veccy anyway!
