I have a 2007 CRD but in manual. Only problems so far are leaking inter cooler, belt tensioner and warped exhaust manifold.
Some early CRD engines had a rep for being fuel guzzlers but mine uses around 12.8 l/100 on the hwy and 16 when towing. I also have all the bar work, drawers etc so the car is very heavy. Happy with that.

How ow many kms does it have? If you look at the engine the CRD will have a black cover and the inter cooler sits on top of two rails. The Di is a silver cover and intercollegiate is bolted on top of engine.

No not that one, that's been on for long time, it's silver, just says. 2007 Nissan patrol it's got cruse control, I think that was the later one, it say common rail on the side,

Sold my car yesterday so got the cash, but reading about to many patrols engine going bang or maf going so on , I want one but it's making me look at other things.

[Rock Trol]

If it says common rail on side then that's what it will be. The CRD engine is different to the Di in many ways and does not fail like they do. CRD failure rates are the same as other manufacturers diesels according to a friend who works for the RAA.

There are other options such as 4.2 patrol. Or other models that are also more car like on the road so it depends on the intended use of the vehicle. For instance, do you want or need a live front axle. If so you are somewhat limited in choice.

[Rock Trol]

The reality is though, that if you do buy a CRD patrol you will end up spending some money on upgrades like inter cooler because they will eventually fail. As an owner I don't think you could avoid that. In my opinion they are somewhat high maintenance as they get older.

At the end of the day its your decision, but just keep in mind that people who do not have a problem don't write in to forums or FB or whatever.
MAF's, MAP and TPI's go bung on all brands of motors, not just Nissans. I spent weeks trying to get a TPI to work on my sons Feroza years ago. Ended up changing it because the original just kept telling the engine management to turn the choke on.
Put an injector pump in the work Kia truck last year and one in the Mercedes van just now. Both over $3000. Ya win some you loose some. Good luck with your choice.
