OH LEATHER IS NICE
No. Just buy it and you'll never have a regret even if it end up with a problem.
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
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
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
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.
