....anything else other than the obvious oil change etc that is specific to these, that they should address?

Runs well from what I can gather already - but any oil-burner specifics that they should at least look into, would be welcome.

Cheers,

As with any new car give it a good service when you get it.
As with any French car, wait for it to break and worry about whats wrong then.

Good little cars when they are ok. We have one which has an age old injector problem but other than that they are great on fuel. We get around 600-620 miles to a tank.

Fantastic when they work, nothing you can really do to prevent fuel system issues, just worry about it when it happens and enjoy it before it does 😂

I’ve recently sold mine to a mate, I wish I’d kept the car - it was bomb proof for me and it still is with him. I think it’s on about 140,000 now and no signs of giving up yet.
