2.2 cdti SE

Still reliable at 13 years old

Bought used from family and whilst below average miles for age it is still reliable at 13 years of age. Had to add couple of things to the SE basic spec such as cruise control and rear parking sensors. Good diesel engine that does near to the claimed mpg. Faults: plastics inside soft and mark easily; battery drainage that cured by keeping boot light off; needed the usual rear differential oils changes; wide and high boot space but not as long as many estates; recently scored rear brake discs but not too expensive to replace at local garage; engine ran rough and stuttered once on holiday when long way from home, but got back home with couple of bottles of fuel cleaner and with good diesel and fuel cleaners working fine again after couple of months. Good points: reliable; engine; space and practicality; decent comfort with fat tyres. Looking (somewhat reluctantly) for a mark 3 CRV for a change and safety update.
