So far so good, did about 7 k km and nothing major. I have 298k km on the ODO so the timing belt is due.
I also plan to replace the front discs and pads. Since I plan to go back home in Romania for the winter holidays, I will do it there, the work bill will be probably something like 100 euro for this .. in Bruxelles, 600 easy..
The only thing I noticed is a small clunk noise from the front when I go over small road imperfections. Probably some bushings that need to be replaced. Since I am sure that this car had not seen any offroad until me and it has all the original parts, it was to be expected. It will be taken care of when I take to the shop for the timing belt.
Fuel consumptions between fill ups stays at about 11 l/100 km no matter what I do. I am happy with that.
The power heat function works great in cold mornings, after 500 m already blows hot air, very good option to have.
I managed to find a some roof bars that bolt on the original holes on the roof, from Rhino Rack, rated at 100 kg., on a german site. The good thing is they can sell only 2, paid about 350 euro.
The standard kit is 3 of them and is much more expensive,almost as the price for a full rack. SInce i need them to put a roof top tent, it does not makes sense to have 3 , plus it will block my moon roof.
They just arrived, I will mount them in the week-end hopefully.
I also bought a light bar, and I want to test if some H4 LED bulbs work instead of the halogen OEM bulbs, which are useless basically...
I can't wait this holiday, after the car will be in the shop, should not take more than 3 days , for 2 weeks I plan to roam at least half of the mountains in Romania..

should be plenty of snowed mountain tracks..

good fun
