Ok, so Iv been looking for just over a month. I'm after a tdv6 but now Iv just seen a v8 2005 at 107000 miles. For a good price. All the suspension works fine, it's had an LPG conversion and some recent work. 5 owners before hand, something what I didn't want to go down the part of being owend by some many people.
Just wanted to know what sort of things should o be looking out for round the D3 and coming up service work wise? Thanks in advance

Having bought a D3 with a similar mileage there are a few things to look for:
Gearbox fluid and filter - has it been changed around 100K miles, if not it should, any 'shuddering' while driving means it could do with a change
Wheel bearings esp front - again, need changing at 100K miles, listen for any noise while driving coming from bearings
AC - make sure it is blowing cold, pipes have a habit of corroding
I'm sure there are other things, obviously make sure tyres, brake pads and discs have a decent amount of wear...
