I have an 01 td5 and I love it but oh boy, the last 12 months have tested my wallet somewhat. Had the front double cardan go (fortuantely no damage but was in the middle of the parramatta road at peak hour when it went....no cdl at that time either), had to have the entire auto reco's and a new torque converter, installed a cdl (the whole thing) plus linkages, about to replace the radiator (will be about $750 installed) plus new springs and shocks......... I'm about $8,500 lighter!
Lucky I like the car so much..... couldn't afford to sell it now in any case.
