Do the glowplugs on them about 200km. Injectors about same. Get a tranny flush regular if an auto and she'll be quiet.
otherwise way better than a noisy terrano.

Thanks for the tips. As I said the old man is a sparky so most of this should be easy to get done. The overheating seems to be a reoccurring comment. Better put a decent temperature gauge On my list of to-do's on it. Cheers
