Gents I have had my JK diesel for 150,000km now, have blown both turbo intercooler hoses and I am looking to install the provent filter - where do we get the Silicone Hoses from? I see plenty for the 3.8 but not the diesel. Other than that I got the timing belt changed at 140,000 after a mess up at the dealer instead off 100. When i first got it I had trouble with turbo lag, but all in all its been a great solid performer and I have had no real issues with it.

As an ex-V8 Disco owner who has transitioned to a CRD JK, I have no complaints with the change.
I've moved from a manual petrol to an auto diesel.
Yes, I had an issue just after I collected it, but after 2200 km of driving since, I LOVE IT!
It just feels like it wants to just keep going and going and going, and hopefully it will!

I am finding that the engine is getting better and freer the older it gets. Mine has 72,000k's on it now and:
- it happily lugs in 1st gear around idle (it always used to stall)
- it rev's easily now and seem's to be getting better

so far (crosses fingers) have had zero problems with my 2010 build JK Unlimited CRD Auto.
now at 29,900 klms, it is getting better as it puts some kilometers behind it.
May the good times continue.
