I'm going to have a look at a 306 1.9D with 122k miles on it. Its a '96 one. what are the best ways to check if the engine is ok ? I know how to check the other things out, but I've never had a diesel before. Are there any other important things to check on a 306 ?
ps. Do these use the same engines as citroen visas ?

How it starts from cold. Check it is stone cold before starting, poor compression will result in a difficult starter from cold, can be a bummer in winter. Know a couple of people with French 1.9Ds well past the 200K mark with no major problems.

engine mounts timing belt main crank pulley seats (make sure they ain't broken especially on the drivers side and they move about and stuff)
