But first I need wise counsel. Aside from the obvious differences
(petrol = thirsty but gruntier - no more making written

300TD? What kinds of problems are endemic to this breed?
280 engines come in two flavors, one drinks premium, one drinks
regular, which is it? Premium likely.
also adjusting the fuel injection can be tricky, a friend of mine had
a 280GE
it would get miserable to pour gas on the street milage until a
dealer finally got
the adjustments right, then it rated poor (15 miles per (usa) gallon).
I would expect the wagon to get better of course.
