With some serious interest in my van, I need to note there is one mechanical problem which I haven't and won't fix because of the expense. The van is an automatic. That it's the first one I've ever owned is my excuse... Back in Panama, there was less trannie fluid than there should be in the gearbox. I thought when I'd gotten an oil change, the gear fluid was topped up too. It wasn't. As a result, the VERY low gears, which almost act like 4 wheel drive, don't work. All the regular gears are fine, 1-2-3-Reverse. But if you're planning on going through sand and mud, you can't rely on those really low gears to get you out. It never was 4x4, but these low gears had really gotten me out of some scraps. I've been advised it's probably just some seals that need replacing, the problem is the engine would still have to come out etc, so it's a pricey repair that I just haven't done.
