The engine itself isn't too problematic, but pump failure is common, and will write off the car.

Needs intake cleaning out regularly.

The trick with pump life is fitting the priming bulbs with built in 1 way valves as all to often, the pump fails after filter change or due to leaking bleed off pipes or injector seals.
