I bought mine in 2003 at 23,000km it has now done 230,000km. I have had the recalls done in 2008 had an injector go in 2010 replaced with a second hand one not spending $1600 for 4 new ones, no problems so far with that. 2011 replaced Oil Pressure Sensor and wiring loom, 2013 replace sensor again, Holden told me that 3 glow plugs needed replacing as did the loom cost with labour and diagnostic $1200, told them to put plugs back in and clean up wiring harness and put new sensor in cost $800, running now for 2000km and no problems so far. Replaced starter motor and uprated alternator when that went, went to a 800 crank hr battery and that has solved the short life of other batteries apart from that it has been oil changes and filter changes, changing both filters and oil 10w30 every 10,000km without fail. I would say they aren't as bad as some people make out addmittadly you'll always get a bad one.
