Better to change the sleeve before it fails. Failing that, as soon as the lack of drive to the rear wheels is noticed.
From observations on the forum I'd say 50,000 on an original sleeve and 100,000 on the new replacement sleeve kit.
This only applies to pre chassis update 163 bhp models. All 185 bhp engine models have modified chassis and uprated components.

I never knew it was the 163 bhp, that was the most likely to go. Interesting. I might have some luck after all!
