There are, I think, 2 versions of the diesel V40 - the later ones had a better engine - Renault, I think, and common-rail. Best to check. The power output on the later one is 115bhp, the earlier one was less.

Quite like the old S/V40 - the 2.0 I drove was nice. Main problems tend to be odd electrical gremlins - remember, it's a Dutch, not a Swedish, car.
