Well, pulled the trigger and bought the Villager and couldn't be happier. Kind of replaced our primary vehicle already.
Only one problem we have had/are having:
Strange intermittent squeaking (sounds like a rusty sofa spring) coming from the right front?
Not always present, doesn't always occur on rough pavement, absolutely no handling issues-no pulling while at speed or anything like that. Just an annoying *Squeak* occasionally.
Thought perhaps a strut or ball joint but since I cannot isolate any one particular event that causes it to consistently occur have been a bit baffled.
Anyone had this problem?
