Hi Backhill
Yes 2 D5's although only one with rising oil and dilution issue, which happened twice!
Its the 'blissfully unaware' bit that worries me. I for example,had no idea until I read all about it on here, and one member in here had his car serviced by halfords I think it was, who filled a D5 up to the level with oil 'speeding up' the rising oil/dilution issue. Its the not knowing how a car has been looked after in its first ownership period that worries me, especially when some garages are unable to look after them properly, and people like me rely on garages to do a genuine job.
