Thanks, Bromptonaut. When you say the XUD derived engine, do you mean the 1.9?
The one I had was a 1.6HDi, which rolled of the production line at the beginning of 2007. The one I am looking at right now is a 2.0 HDi which dates to 2004. It has a lot fewer miles than ours, and the exterior is certainly in better shape.
We never had a serious problem with rust, though we certainly had a bit. Never had any trouble with the Modutop, though I was aware that it was a potential trouble spot. Never had serious problems with the clutch - though we did with the gears a few years ago - and to be honest, they have not been great for years - though I did get them fixed just before the car passed away.
