Mr Tony,
Clearly your comment about driving an Aero to the North Pole is aimed at me personally.
As you know I've just done a 1300 mile drive almost to Lapland in a low mileage well maintained Aero.,
with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Although I'm new to the Forum, I'm an engineer to trade, I know from experience that cars with round the world plus mileage have generally more wear than a lower mileage vehicle.
Sorry Mack - not aimed at you at all, had no idea you had done that or the mileage on your car. Just a reference to the charity drive some of the forum are doing and the importance of being prepared as they obviously are!
