Lol to be fair to him he's given me a 2004 Honda Accord in the past as well. Garage said it needed a £650 egr valve so he said I can have it, £35 and 10 minutes on eBay it was fixed and sold for a nice bit of profit

If I remember correctly, my first couple of years were relatively pain free. I remember thinking how much more reliable than the Disco she was. I was reading horror stories of how bad the L322 could be and feeling pleased how good mine was and how little I had spent on her.It was shortly after that, she started biting. The issue is not so much if they bite, it's when will they bite and how hard.
I still love her, after all the troubles I've had, but went into buying her knowing the short-comings of the whole stable. I also knew that the cost of parts and repairs would be more than the 'norm'. So if this thread has helped the OP see things clearer and helps anyone else understand what they are in for, then good.

Just had a look back at Ant's thread ref costs. I was very lucky at the beginning. In 2yrs and 11 months, I spent £661.73. I sure as hell made up for it in the next 3yrs 
Yet, I still love her

I think 300,000 to 500,000 can be considered quite high mileage, however diesel engined cars do achieve high mileage and are still good to go but when buying any car especially cars with a lot of miles on the clock Service History is one of the most important considerations as well as overall condition.
