I'd love to drive that. And considering that everything was swapped over profesionally then I'd definetly be interested.

You'd be paying that much alone in parts...if it was done right, this is a pretty decent bargain, not the best deal, but a decent one.

I have a '98 diesel XJ

But well... I live in Europe too!

Did you know a cheap diesel XJ in Estonia costs 5000USD? Although they are pretty common.
Bought mine for 6000USD

I envy your car/gas prices!

Definitely not saying it's cheaper, but not exorbitant for what it is. Plus little diesels are a blast to own. Great on gas, and just all-around cool.

Wonder if you could find out who makes the motor? Jeep use to use Rnolt or some crazy name like that. Should be able to get a complete swap from Jeep. Wouldn't be cheep. And take some time for shipping. But there also has to be aftermarket support over by you. Right? Please give all info you can. Hate driving my POS Jetta to save $ and only getting 28 MPGs.

Yes, it's a VM motori 425 OHV

Pretty bulletproof, only have to change the head gasket every 200k or so.
There is a ton of information about it on:

http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...play.php?f=123

Also, this engine is mainly used in boats and generators
