Subject:Comparison ('82 1.6l Diesel Westy/'86 2.1l Gasoline Vanagon)

Hey volks,

This is one for all you wrenchy's:

I know the diesel's don't catch fire, the 1.6s are woefully inadequate, both
are manual xmission, the rect headlamps are nice to look at, only, but, how
else do they compare?

Engine longevity?
Transmission performance?
Quirks?

I'm more interested in the pros of the '86 and cons of the '82, IOW, tell me
what I want to hear!
