mines at 80k(fvsh), which as im aware is pretty low for one of these, just want to gauge the sort of lifespan these engines have, 200k+?

Every on I've had so far has had over 150k, they'll easily go over 200k if they're looked after.

Nearly 150k and engine sounds great.

A few niggles but I think they will be sorted out...

I got my second 850 just over a year ago with 79k on it with lots of bills and history so im sure its genuine. Now has 92k, I think the engine is good as it has no strange noises and hadly uses any oil. It can go between oil changes without having to top up the oil (4 or 5k). I have always have done oil changes well before the recommended interval. I am well pleased to have found it as i was looking for a while to get a good one, there are lots of rough 850 about which are money pits.
My old 850 manual was a bit of a dog and it drank oil. It had very noisy tappets from cold and it was also really bad on fuel, and the gearbox was stiff, but it went ok and was presentable. It had 115k on the clock, it never let me down and i had that car for over two years.

161k. Fantastic engine & new auto box. 99% of bits changed were due to performance upgrade or daily running consumables. More of those to come!!!

Mine's running sweet on 188+k. It's had a pretty minty service history though. We'll see how long it lasts with the remap and so on.

110k with a 280 map and, fingers crossed, touching wood and any other old witches tales, no problems.

Just coming up to 150k and touch wood no problems. I do however fervently believe that oil is cheaper than metal, and change it frequently.
