Why don't you go for a Pinto auto? The LEZ is coming.

i considered it but my last transit was pinto powered and it was dog slow and i reckon it would struggle with the weight of the camper!!

Hear what your saying,weight always hurts. Diesel and old (per 2000)isn't going to be good news in 2010,unless it's tax exempt.
I'm in the same boat as you,ran di Transit's for years and now there telling me there the devil :twisted:
