They are poor. Heavy on fuel, noisy and pretty slow.
An lpg conversion on a petrol is a better option.

the 2.5? Walk away, keep walking, once around the corner, run until your out of breath.
Petrol on LPG, no more expensive to buy, cheaper to run and doesn't do a head gasket every time you turn your back.

I've got a 1997 2.5 diesel XJ, it's now done 98,000 miles, some of which has been greenlaning, averages 26mpg on mud tyres and has never missed a beat. Plus you don't have to worry about the electrics when in deep water...

The 2.7 diesels are getting a bad reputation for reliability......all related to injectors and fuelling..

The vm engine is bulletproof as long as you don't abuse it with crap oil and crap coolant. Don't let the coolant get low on them and put the right oil in and they run forever.
