At least there's a long time span of parts around.
Running rough? Serviced every 5k? My go would be fuel.

My X-Trail started to run a little rough, especially on cold starts. Even when filling with 98 at non BP (independent) stations. A tank full of BP 98 fixed it. Won't look back.

Parked near a previously seen Alfasud this morning at the local shops. Owner showed up and we briefly chatted. Its still on original rego, owner said it was 44 years old and a one owner car, which looked about right if he'd bought it as a young man.

It looks like a well loved survivor car. Next time I'll grab a snap.

He did say getting parts was becoming a real problem.

Saw a Commodore panel van in Artarmon the other week. Red, no Sandman graphics.
