30000 seemed to be a common time for them to fail, from posts on here, but most seem to just go on forever?

Yes, I made a mental note to change mine at 30,000 miles too.
..... which is just about where we are now.
Like yourself though, the plan had dropped below the radar lately.
And ditto again .. I'm guessing I would probably get away without doing them for a few thousand miles more.
Various other jobs are planned for the winter, so I may not get round to it just yet but I think I'll write myself a reminder note and stick it on the shed wall.
Otherwise its one of those jobs that I could easily let slide indefinitely.
