General Marea 2.4 Td Hlx - Urgent

[javednazeer]

Hello all

I am going to inspect and possibly buy a 2.4 td hlx on a P reg with 59000 miles. The seller has some Mot's and service history to back the mileage up. I use to have a td100 but always wanted the 2.4. Just want to know what needs to be checked when test driving the Marea. I understand there might be quite a few niggles with the 2.4 engine. Also what kind of money do you think it is worth to anyone knowledge.

I hope to get everone's verdict by the end of 3pm, this is the time I am setting off to have a look at the marea.

Thank you all and good luck.

No more niggles with the 2.4 than the 1.9 - other than increased cost of service, and replacement of parts due to the 5th cylinder. Check for cambelt and the state of the clutch.

If you're not in a hurry, look around for a JTD 2.4 rather than the TD.

Check condition of clutch because the td125 clutch model is more expensive than the td75/100's one. In Italy a complete clutch (inclusive of flywheel) costs about 650,00€!!
