I hope the Mazda wasn't a diesel, these are bad news!

We have an 88 Corona diesel with who knows how many km on the clock (it was rewound by its importer). Its engine became so worn it would take several minutes of hitting the glows & cranking before firing up, but never ran on its own sumpoil!

Why do the Eurodiesels have such badly-designed intakes? This shouldn't be possible.
