Oil pump will need changed ASAP if not already done. In that year the mounting has a habit of letting go and taking the engine with it.

You think it’s better to leave it a go for a 3 ltr D4?

D4 is better in many ways but cost more and have their own issues (search “crank failure” here). Pays yer money and takes yer choice.

With a D4 you get a bigger bill when it goes wrong
