Thanks Al for your feedback. Just another question I have. What is the approximate cost for overhauls? What are my options? New engine, etc, etc
Klaus

266 000 is about right! You are coming due for a ring job. In plain english....overhaul time. Sorry for the bad news, but thats the way it is. Al

When I accelerate in first gear, usually from a stop, blue smoke comes out of the exhaust. No snoke during normal driving...40km/hr and up.. May be a dumb question but not very familiar with cars either.
What kind of service is due? I have about 266,000km on the odometer and I doubt any work has been done on the engine. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
