I have a VW LT35 TDI year 2000 campervan and live within the M25 (Bromley Kent). Kens new plan is to charge owners of older diesels, mine is registered as a motorhome, around £100 a day to travel within the M25 unless very expensive modifications are made to engine and exhaust.
Selling now is an option but campervans are very expensive to replace. I have heard that the exhaust particulate thingys can be troublesome and expensive. Think around £2000 for the mods required. I think an engine changeover to Petrol could solve the problem as I only travel about a thousand miles or so a year.
Any ideas of any petrol engines that would replace the diesel. My engine is a 2461cc 5cyl. TDI. Also found in the T4 and other vehicles. I was thinking along the lines of a used car engine as Van engines are usually very high milers. I ran a Audi 100 with a 5cyl petrol engine once, they were very cheap to buy.
Any ideas wellcomed Thanks
