Ive heard other manufacturers also state up to 1k per litre. I think its their get out clause for high oil consumption!

Condition and how well its been cared for is more important than milage. Check the chassis and bulkhead thoroughly for rust. The mechanicals are cheap enough

Use a trade card too if you can get one, took a third off the price of a pro screwdriver set

FL2's are said to be pretty good on reliability and have few common faults. Looks like a nice motor, enjoy!

Had some of mine for 15 years. Been hit with hammers, hung off with scaffold poles and generally abused. Only thing i broke was a 1/4 to 3/8 adaptor

Fitted a webasto diesel fueled heater to a camper, hardest part was dropping the fuel tank to get the feed tube in. Otherwise pretty straight forward

Is it a bit like tasting cheese and fine wines and checking for texture and mouth feel?

If you can't get to it, you can't repair or inspect it. Clipped to the chassis in wrapped trunking would be my choice.

1k over 5 years? My ford puma cost me that in 2 years with one thing or another..... admittedly a lot of it welding, and new belts and a waterpump. Might keep the micra, low mileage but battered, and buy a cheaper rr as a pride and joy toy
