Only one very minor issue with the sat nat which sorted itself on it's own??. 10,000 miles of trouble free motoring and a very big grin every time I climb aboard. SWMBO didn't like it in the showroom but now it's her vehicle of choice. her car sits there gathering dust. Yeehaw!!!!!!

Most of you are mere mileage 'pups'
Bought my D3 with 50k on the clock, now at 152k in only 27mths !!!
Unfortinately had a few niggles on the way, but fairness most are the bits that go 'round and round' so wear and tear related.
But still got a perma grin, and love it to bits, fantastic car, very capable, can't think of another car that would do everything my D3 can, except maybe a D4 (one day) Never get mad - get even !!
06 D3 now gone to family member and still going strong at 265k
previous vehicles:
04 D2 TD5 - (clocked 189k from new)
52 X-Trail 2.2 SVE
various euro boxes !

Mine is getting on to the 100k mileage. I have put the last 20k on and it has never let me down (cant say never been stuck off road though but 3 t on clay does tend to sink a bit  ) Don’t worry it is supposed to sound like that...honest
