It may well have cut it down but even the most refined diesel engine today to
me sounds like a petrol engine from 30 years ago.

This won't concern you as your petrol vehicle never fails, but two years
ago I was stranded in France with a diesel Almera using the old fuel
pump. The car failed electrically, everything stopped including the
speedometer, but I was still able to drive 200 miles because the engine
was not dependant on any electrical power. Oh and by the way, most car
failures are electrical.
