Firstly thank you for letting me join.
I am hoping you can impart some wisdom. I have just sold my Mercedes ML. I have always liked the X Type harking back to old world style and as my wife has a Honda CR V having space in a second car is not a priority.
I have done quite a lot of research and narrowed it down to the diesels. 2.2 without the DPF or a newer 2 Litre? I know both have inherent problems but I would be grateful for the wisdom of both cars owners, giving a critical overview of of ownership, issues and overall experience. Also having had over 200bhp, would dropping down to a 2 Litre with 130bhp be just to much. Finally are cars fitted with the DPF as problematic as I have read?
Thanks for your help.
