Thoughts on this ?
« on: 17 November 2015, 12:53:29 »

I think Andyb has one of these but this is a bit older  :-\ Im liking the idea of this one , obviously it wont be as cheap for spares but quite a bit of car for the money  :-\

Cam belt or chain ?

21-25 mpg apparently , thats not too bad considering the size of the car . Just waiting for some feedback from the seller about detailed service history .

well tbh EMD if you are looking at either an old ML or an X5 you might as well buy a P38 all as unreliable but P38 parts are a little cheaper and can be fixed by most garages

Did they only do a V8 petrol  :-\
I see they are quite reasonably priced . Many have had the rear air bladders ripped out  :)
