The cracked exhaust manifold and the balance shaft drive are well known issues with the 2017/8 diesel Outlander. Fortunately I referred to a knocking noise in the engine at 3 years and both items were replaced under warranty. The knocking noise is very like normal diesel knock but lower down...

Had one fitted about 12 years ago. you have to be careful with it for a few weeks but otherwise fine, certainly no lifting. Can not remember how long before driving but not many weeks. Have done 10s of thousands mile since no problem. Could do with the other one doing now though. Count so...

My Xtrail would never do a DPF clean when towing, but often did one a day or so after arriving at our destination, often with a DPF warning light. The thoughts were on the forum that if the engine was hot, the DPF clean was inhibited to prevent getting too hot. My Outlander did a big tow to...

I wonder if they will think that they can sell enough to warrant the cost of meeting European (and UK) emissions.

My stainless one recently sprung a leak on holiday after 8 years use. Leak where the flexi bit is attached to the screw on bit. Thanks for Amazon delivery I fitted a new rubber one.

Sorry, not DC.
