Terrifyingly unreliable!
The M9R suffers from loads of issues, timing chains (which they say are 'for life'...), shit DPF, injector issues as they're early generation piezo and then always seize like f*ck on the way out, horrifically heavy rotating mass from the balancer shafts - same issue as the 2.2HDi there, so they're REALLY slow to rev.
