I've got one of these but I've never had to take it apart, fortunately, and fingers crossed. I do get the feeling though, that they are quite conventional engines, once you get over the diesel fear threshold. Mines only done 80,000 so timing belt time soon. I am interested in alternative fuels, how many miles have you done on the eco system, and any problems or adjustments to make?
