Loved mine

But at a moderate cost

Engine lasted over 300K miles but I did have to change my volt reg on my alternator every 30K miles, ball joints every 50-60K and my Head Gasket was done twice (once at 74K and the second time at 285K (4-5 years later). I had a 91 2.6. What size engine - 2.3 or 2.6? The 2.6 is a little harder to work on but manageable even for a rookie like myself. Aux water pump went as well. I think my tranny finally bit it in the end but that's pretty good for 300K.

Hope this helps.

Want to put a tank in the trunk for WVO/SVO in the E300 Need to find a place to store my OIL!
Still procrastinating about the biodiesel/WVO
Made some biodiesel but so afraid to pour it all in - I've added some and think I'll supplement my fuel to see how I make out

Made some biodiesel but the process scares me - methanol fumes are not your friend! Need to do this outside.
