haven't heard of any CRD patrol blowing pistons. however they do seam to have a fuel usage problem. some suck the juice big time while others do not. no idea of why as of yet.

I have not really heard any problems of late, but the fact the 3lt in general has such a bad reputation (and for good reason) now means the resale value on it will be pathetic when you go to sell it later on, even if these later models are perfectly reliable.

May be something to think about....
