Tata Safari Diesel pump   
I have been offered a Tata Safari (suitably cheap) and following
adverse comment, I would like to know what experience shows to be the
weakest points.  What about the engine/fuel system.  I am looking for
a cheap car that will pull a heavy trailer and run on biodiesel.  Does
anyone know what the injection pump actually is?

It looks big enough and I can throw scrap in the back, etc. without
bothering about damaging the leather upholstery.  What are likely to
be my worst problems? I have run a host of peculiar 4wd trucks over
the past 40 years with mostly GM/Chevrolet, Landrovers, SsangYong and
a lot of heavy things like a Dodge Fargo Power Wagon. I have a good
workshop and I think I can cope with most problems and am not too
bothered by the unavailabilty of bits of plastic trim.

Anyone got any experience, before I put my money where my mouth is?

With thanks, George.
