    I had an 05 wagon for 2 years/30k miles with no issues at all.
    Ignition coils can go and you have to buy as a set of 4. It's a heavy car so eats front tyres.

    Although the oil sludge problems were ironed out by this stage, I'd still want proof that the car was serviced regularly with fully synthetic oil used.

    Great bus though and very comfy.

    The biopower engines operate best on E85.

    Without e85, you'll be down on power, and up on fuel consumption.


    You can't buy e85.

    You can't buy e85.

    Both easily sorted with an ECU remap.

    That never crossed my mind.
