It’s the 3.0L’s round my way that have done there heads in. If you have the up rated head on the 2.4 and keep it looked after it can be a good reliable friend I say! 25k I’ve done on mine and it isn’t that slow and gives me around 24mpg. Roughly the same as any other 2.4/5 in its class I guess. The only hassles I have had with it have been the ones I’ve caused…
If I was to buy another surf I would buy the 3.0L but I am happy with the size of my tool. My wife’s rover 414 would still out run the 3.0L (they are not that quick it’s a big truck) I have never driven the 150BHP petrol I am sure it goes well at a heavy $ though!
Guess it depends what you need form your transport. If I had a V8 in mine I’d still not drive any faster in a truck the size of surf, I’d be too busy listening to it to drive it I reckon.
