Diesel Reliability

Recommended Posts

Hi i probably look quite stupid for asking this but just trying to get an idea of really how reliable these things are.

I am helping a mate decide between the 2.7L petrol and the diesel 3L hes got a budget around 20 grand. but is looking to spend as little as possible.

This little guy caught my eye.

from the diesels i have seen this one looks a little to good to be true. What are some things i should look out for on diesels, any advice would be wonderful.

Sorry if this has already been brought up i did a search for diesel and didn’t find any thing that related specifically to what i wanted.

Final question what kms do you guys get out of a tank and what is considered high kms for the 3L td engines.

Cheers

Dave
