Basically don't buy one, I shall list the common faults.. no lie about any of these I am a mechanic and work on these day in day out!! Crankshaft pulley, tensioner pully, alternator faults, egr valves seize, intake manifolds block up, water pumps leak, duel mass flywheels fuck up, slave cylinder bleading valves crack leaving you with no clutch, turbo veins seize up (no power and in limp mode), injectors Shit themselves, + terminal wiring to starter motor short out and burn to nothing, starter motors seize, front wheel bearings.... Basically if it knocks when its running or the glow plug coil light is constantly flashing when driving it or its smoking loads, keep well away my friend you could spend easy a grand and a half on parts, hope you take note of this they are a terrible car I'm affraid to say!
