Thank the Lord we've got a 1992 Peugeot J5 (think Talbot Express) based motorhome, with the ancient but basically utterly bulletproof 2.5 TD engine.

 

No electronics.

No EGR valves.

No cat to be stolen.

No computer to go wrong.

No sensors.

No guts

Crap fuel consumption

Noisy as a bag of spanners

No acceleration

Ok, so it's happy-chug speed is only 90 to100 kms per hour.

But in the nearly 5 years and 80,000 kms that we've had it, the engine has been utterly reliable.

 

Even now, it's only got 143,000kms on the clock, so should be good for another couple of hundred thousand more before any major refurbishment.......

I'd still prefer the modern variety though. :D
