Hi all,

A friend is considering purchasing a 116d SE (65 plate).

Anything to watch out for with this model/engine?

I know the N47 engine has timing chain failure issues with high mileage (in part due to failing tensioners, probably not helped by long service intervals) but I don't have any experience of these 3 cylinder variants.

Thanks for your help.
