    I like. easy enough on fuel, nice an peppy, and if you actually bother servicing it, capable of massive mileages without getting loose feeling. There's one outside with 295000 miles on it and it is as tight as a drum. Sadly, so is one of the rear brakes, cos some fool parked it up with the handbrake on and now it's seized..which reminds me what I have to play with tomorrow.

    Yep, check for head gasket failure. They like to do that

    And the ecu can go batsh** and stop the engine getting fuel, leading to no-start. Common enough.
