Taken from a site that does seem to focus on petrol engines but does refer to diesels.

would expect it to be of Peugeot, Citroen or Fiat origin (all produced basically the same vehicle) but imagine there is an owners site on the web and they are usually delighted to help other owners.

thank you for the welcome, and the link. going by this then "The Diesel engines are not generally considered as robust as the petrol versions. The Petrol engines came straight out of Peugeot 505s but the diesels were apparently a converted petrol type from Citroen without significant modification. Replacement parts for the Diesels can also be very expensive." it implies citroen... hmm...
