No, the failures are across the whole range. Similar failures are also found in the 'Microcar' range of vehicles--petrol and diesel-- as this has essentially...
Its possible to tow an Aixam behind a motorhome, but I wouldnt do it for hundreds of miles!-- It may (does) cause excess wear of the bush bearing on the...
