Thanks, is this the engine where you have to replace the dpf after 70k or is that just the 16 valve. I obviously don't know how its been looked after but according to the service book its got all its history so i'm assuming that side of it should be ok. I really like the style of the car and have wanted one for ages so i think i will get it just this uncertainty over the engine is bothering me. I even spoke to my local dealer and they warned me off the engine aswell suggesting i go for a petrol version or the d5.
By ythe way this is the car.
