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.
