VERDICT & RATING

Verdict & Rating

Rating:

5

out of 5

85% confidence - based on 700+ real UK enquiries, specialist rebuild reports, and owner-forum data spanning 20 years of real-world use.

The 276DT is a refined early V6 diesel - but its oil pump housing is the Achilles' heel - buy only with documented oil pump history or factor in replacement cost.
