Actually if it were to require a new engine she'd probably tell me to get out there and fix it myself since I do so much other maintenance on pretty much everything that we have, cars, bikes, plumbing, electrical, paint, etc, etc ,etc.
Well there's plenty of ways to manage that dilemma! Can you say loose oil drain pan plug?
Then again, it looks like SWMBO may not buy into the idea of a replacement. If you shop carefully, you can find T1N Sprinters (2001-2006 for the US market) for fairly reasonable prices.
BTW, hook 'em horns? There's a fan in my household.
