Look very, very carfully at that zd30 engine. Even pay some one to inspect it.

Get them to remove a glow plug and get a one of those fancy camera gizmos on the end of a flexi cable into the cylinders to look for any sign of damage to the top of the crown and bores.

Unfortuatley the are hit and miss, you either get a good one or a bad one

if it was a grenade it would have gone off by now.

big thing will be injection system. probably due for replacement if it hasn't been done already. probably around 3-4k to reco.
usual high mileage things to look at, suspension, steering etc.
