Overall reliability

Great to drive - diesel engine completely unreliable

Had since Feb 2011. Done 132k miles. Car is great to drive and performs very well. However, had 2 instances (at 75k and 132k) where oil pick up becomes blocked with carbon deposits. Luckily both times have avoided complete engine failure by getting work done on the car just in time (cost of £300 each time). Timing chain also needed changing at 112k at a cost of £750.

Really happy with the comfort and performance car overall but live in constant fear that the engine will fail and result in complete failure. Petrol engines far more reliable apparently.
