Owner of the original post. Presently the car is on 254000kms, running faultlessly at this stage, still being used by wife every day for work. Intend keeping it and will repair as necessary.
Replacement parts do not seem to be a problem; plenty of second hand bits available if needed.
Good independent servicing available in Perth Western Australia.
