For example got the question about the cracked coolant reservoir tank (seems very common on 4.4 and some 3.0l petrol cars) but want to know if it is an issue with the diesels too ????get no answers
Lovely idea! But why has the thread been moved elsewhere? As for myself I've got 3.0 2005. Have been owning it since a bit over a year, so far the only issue I had was the self leveling suspension sensor, which has been replaced within the warranty. Another issue is electric- the flat tyre sensor sometimes will go off out of the blue on wet motorway- since I've changed 17" to 19" wheels. People on forum told me it might be the tyres removing the water insufficiently. Otherwise I'm having great fun driving my car. But it's always good and useful to see what problems people get particualry with 3.0 diesels and how they solve them. I'll definetly visit this thread quite often.
