No. Just buy it and you'll never have a regret even if it end up with a problem.

The CRD is a great motor, you'll be spinning wheels every corner. As above, issues were with the earlier models

X 4 with above Cr much better motor than the Di IMO

Hi mate - a lot of what you hear about the earlier DI 3.0L engines is related to the issue on here known as "grenades" where the engines kill themselves. Search for grenade, etc on here and you will see a heap of info. There is also a heap of tips on what to do for DIs but with the CRDs (2007 and on) you don't have the same issues. When looking at any just do your normal due diligence like you would on buying any new vehicle.

depends what you are after? low down grunt for off road = 4.2, 3.0l = running around town and light 4x4
