Yup i reckon 9.5 years is great despite the owners book saying should last lifetime of car! mine lasted 9 years, and whilst it would start whenever temps went down it got laboured and i would hear a click also.....anyway Qsilver7 great tips means i can change it out in a jiffy in the future if need be
