Hi
Really need some advice please
Flown over to the UK to buy a car, I’ve found a really nice 2013 vogue se, with 55k on the clock.
Need to commit, or walk away tomorrow morning.
But I keep hearing these are bad news due to the crankshaft issue, cannot really find too much info on the internet.
Is this a certain model year, or across the whole run?
How common is it?
Warranty is not an option, as I am exporting to France
Please help i am in a real dilemma here, I’ve had rangey’s for 18 years, and nothing else appeals to me.
But I do not want to be sitting there with a 15k repair bill any time soon.
Are they that common a fault?

Have a look using the search function, plenty of info but nothing conclusive. 2015 4.4 AB
