Haven't heard of this. But the model had 3 different engines. First a 2.0 VW TDI (best avoided). Then a PSA 2.2, which continued to be fitted to the automatic. But also a 2.2 (actually 2.3) chain cam Mitsubishi engine and that is by far the best engine.

Handsome looks and plenty of kit, Mitsubishi chain cam 2.3 DI-D engine is excellent. 5 seats + 2 child seats. Very competent off-road with 4WD. Also available with 2WD.
