Unfortunately, it's a pretty common story. With people who understand 
D-jetronic so few and far between, small problems tend to get ignored 
or left undiagnosed. They build up until new, major problems just 
seem like the old problems have just gotten slightly worse.

Sarah's case, as a new owner, is also familiar in that she had no way 
of knowing how her car SHOULD perform. With nothing to compare to, 
she had no way of knowing what was normal and what was a problem.  

For the record, Marigold was not the worst example I've worked on, 
but I have to admit that she came close.  ;-)
