Hello Jas.
I guess You have them (RD28TD) not so often in AU? In EU it's completely up-side down. 2,8 DIESELS are 95% of marked. Most of them are very old and made over 200 kmiles.
What I want to say is those small engines are lighter naturally and more "modern" constructions but please, concern following:
Must be in really good cond then You find it to purchase. No "small mendings" acceptable - difficult start, white smoke, odd working while cold, strange sounds etc.
Problem is those engines are very easy to warm-up. Enough is to drive too fast too long. Temp goes not over the red so one feels it's OK - but usually it causes over-warming.
Most of my friend are using 2,8 and are very satisfied - I used to have one too - bought it in Berlin. But hygiene with cooling system is life/death situation for this motor.
