being from the mighty land of the $5 gallon of diesel, every manufacturer sending cars to england has a diesel in the lineup. jeeps is a 2.5L turbo unit. be nice to know the cost of getting one from a scrap yard there and shipping it over, as a gift of course, dont wanna pay too many taxes....
i test drove a cherokee with the diesel in it, and found it surprisingly peaky. i was running a 92 isuzu trooper at the time and it had a 3.5L turbo intercooled diesel in it. the jeep wasnt as torquey as the trooper, but was far more peaky when it came on the turbo.
now if you want a real smooth turbo diesel, dont bother with the boat motors, bmw make a beaut of a 3L turbo diesel, cant even tell its a diesel until the hoods up!!
having run land rovers with the l.r. diesel in them, dont bother, they have an expensive appetite for cyl heads.
now if you want ultimate power, my 2000 freightliner has a 585 hp and 1750lbs of torque, detroit diesel in it. i only get @7mpg, but i'm sure that would improve in a xj....... and it goes 10,000 miles between oil changes! may need heavier front springs though........lol
