The philosophy on cars is different in Europe, as is their philosophy on WHO should own a car. There is less general thinking that everyone should be able to own a car, like Henry Ford promoted here. So if it is hard to repair, that is not a problem, since only the rich should have the ritzy brand cars. I can remember talking to to owners there (or from there) in the 70's and they expected to rebuild and engine after 60k miles.
Sounds like me Celica AllTrac..... took me 20 hours.... same as the book number.
