Welcome mate!, it's good to hear your having a hassle free run there certainly is many in the same situation. Tony ran a poll a while back I think it was 8 failures out of 42 replies. Some of the pom's with the earlier model D40 report upwards of 500k untouched apart from routine servicing.

Welcome to the forum.

More info is coming to light on those chains - and it looks like the Thai builds didn't have the weaker chains in them, just the Spanish cars from 2006(ish) to Dec 2009.
