Mate, I haven't heard of any CRD's having any engine problems. They seem to have fixed all over-boost problems, They have been a few people having bad fuel economy problems but most have been very happy with the common rail motors. Myself included.

By the way there is this good bloke on here looking at selling his 2008 gu6 cheap..here is a link lol...http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?6279-Expression-of-Interest..-2008-ST-Patrol-auto.-ACT&p=145912#post145912
