Even though the vehicle you are looking at is 05, you should check via the VIN number for the actual year of manufacture and ensure that it has the newer engine.
It would have to be manufactured in '03 to have the 135kW/390Nm 3.0d engine. You would hope that all the '03-build vehicles would have been sold by '05!!
