Hi there. What are the diesels like, does the engine hold up as well as, for example, a Merc diesel?

Adam,
I've had a 95 Ultima Diesel Estate for 2 yrs with little trouble.
When I first bought it, the alternator wasn't charging the battery due to total failure of the rubber bushes within the crankshaft pulley! The pulley outer was revolving around the inner.
I also had a "smoking diesel" problem which turned out to be a dirty or stuck EGR valve, cured by local Diesel experts.
Apart from that, it's been an excellent motor.
There are one or two horror stories on this site regarding "dropped valves" and "Push-Rods popping out, but I'd rather not contemplate those!!

Hi there.
I own a 1998 diesel with 128k on the clock and about 10k ago i had to have all the cam followers replaced due to one or two collapsing.The only other probs i have is a maf sensor and an engine speed sensor which i need to replace but i use my as a private hire taxi so some work is to be expected.

Thanks for the replies. I've just found another one locally, a 2.0 petrol with 123,000 on it -- anyone know how this engine holds up?
Thanks again,
adam
