[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 519728, member: 240"] Like any machine, you can make it as reliable as new or even better. Or you can make it an unreliable piece of junk. It's all down to condition, maintenance and quality. Most old vehicles have at some time in their lives been run on a shoestring because they were worth next to nothing and the owner could not afford any better. A lot of reliability troubles therefore date back to botched stuff done in the past, skipped maintenance and a "drive it till it stops" attitude to regular inspection. Annoying as this may seem to the current owner, its always worth remembering that the previous owner who botched those repairs is likely to be the one that saved it from going to the scrapyard and a without them the vehicle would not exist anymore. Hence, unless you can find a properly maintained one (they do exist) its mostly necessary to do a complete, detailed restoration, to get back to original levels of reliability. [/QUOTE]
