Years ago when I was running a Citreon BX17TZD it was in for cam belt service and the garage lent me a BX19 estate that had been a local taxi (mini cab) it was a bit sluggish compared to my BX 17 Turbo but then it had a right to be as the odometer read 498,000 miles. The garage had sold it and then serviced it all the time when it was working and it was on it's 3rd gearbox but the head had never been lifted.

Of course modern diesels are not the same many are just dieselised version of the petrol engine which I am not sure is such a good idea. Citreon and Peugeot back then had diesels sewn up my BX was a 1993 registered one.
