What do you think of Mazda diesel engines?

Hi,

I am thinking of buying a 2008/2009 Mazda6 2.0-litre diesel or 2.2-litre diesel. But I've read about  a few issues with diesel engines with regard to DPF failure and timing chains on the 2.2-litre. Is it ture? Is it rare or very common?

Thanks

How do I plot a route for my electric car?

What about long trips in our electric car? We are regular visitors to Dingle, though we live in Kilkenny. I have tried to plot a way down, stopping to recharge, but I have to admit I am a bit confused about charge points on route.

Is mileage a problem for a 141 Ford Mondeo?

I am looking at buying a second hand Ford Mondeo from a dealer. I have seen a 141 1.6 TDCi Zetec and the mileage is 65,000 miles (104,000km). Should I be concerned about this high mileage as it's only two years old?
