For me reliability is a combination of the quality of the product, the maintenance regime undertaken and a reflection on how hard a unit is worked.

That said, for all the panning of rattly Streetlites, poor selling Optares and underpowered B5s - what is there out there now (and gone in recent past) that was just rock solid and reliable?

B10BLEs seem fondly missed for example?

B10BLE, L94UB and D7E engine B7RLEs are fairly solid. As were Gardner engine Olympians. Enviro300s with the ZF Ecolife gearbox are reliable runners too.
