Not unreliable at all IMO
only issues we have seen with them at work is relating to the cooling fans and fuse failing, and the coil packs, bth of which the majority have had fixed under warrenty

PassionFord Post Whore!!
from what i've seen they're alright. although from where i am standing they're quite rare, i've only seen about 3 ever.
& they're not that quick either, sound nice but the older 2.8/9 VR6 sounds nicer/has alot more grunt.

looked at the TDI , but this one has come up and the TDI are about Ł2k more for the same spec 
to be honest i have always been wary of common rail diesels unless you own them from new.

yeah know what you mean about TDI's holding there values a lot more, i just bought one, and could have had a much nicer spec if wanted petrol car. But i do lot of miles so a Derv is a must.
Seen some V5 ones about, thought never driven one. I havent heard anything bad about them mate tbh.
