I'm looking to buy a mwb sprinter as a base for a camper conversion.

I'm budgeting aroung £5k and am looking for something with reasonably low mileage (sub 100k). Vans either side of year 2000 are popping up and I'm wondering whether to go for the older engine or a newer cdi...

Are the older non common rail engines more reliable?
Easier/cheaper to maintain?

What are the main pros and cons?

Cheers, Rich
