96k cambelt =make sure its cold when you first start it to see if it idles okay and revs smoothly as d5s have a injector problem on high milers.make sure central locking works properly on all doors/boot as this is a common fault also.

with it running pull out dipstick a inch or two and feel round the gap for backpressure(they should be no wind coming out of the dipstick tube).if there is the rings are worn.

other than that just a general inspection,good luck

Also, make sure it fires up quickly even when cold. If it takes ages to fire up, then it needs a set of injectors.

many injector problems due to wrong fuel in earlier use, also possible issue with earlier filters i believe.

not heard about gearbox faults on manuals but they do sometimes suffer from front wishbone bushes do to the front end weight really more than anything but not to bad a job to do
