Default Best diesel daily for under 3k?

I was thinking something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-FORD-MOND...item20afd513eb

Also like the mk2 focus

Doing allot of miles so are there any models I should avoid because of known engine...etc faults?
I could probably stretch to 4k for the right car...

Cheers

a passat would be a good car to go for, cant go wrong with a PD engine. iv just got a older VW TDI golf estate mk3, so not as gd as the PD engined ones and i put £50 in last week, dont nearly 500miles and still going!
The newer PD engined Passats or Golfs, drive really nice, nice amount of power for a diesel too.

I don't mind the passats, what model(s) and year should I be looking at in your opinion?

Sounds promising, which passat year/models have got the PD engine?
