my mate had a non hdi type and loved it, sold it at 200,000 miles, still going strong,

hed put a bleed valve, made an exhaust, and filter and a front mount cooler, was bloody quick for what it was.

ive heard 5th explodes, and has on several cars i no, requiring a new gear box.

and the fuel pumps, but that seems to be quite coomon issue on all deisels
