Malcolm,

Bernd is an okay guy and has a pretty nice shop (I've been there twice),
however, when it comes to "THE GUY" in europe for diesel conversions... his
name is Thomas Hahn.  His company, HA-Projekt has been doing some really
cool stuff for years.  The difference between the two is that Hahn takes
things to the next level.  He did the design and development to allow the
use of an Audi Triptronic tranny in the T3, which is the only way to go when
putting in the V6 TDI.  Oh yeah, he also was the first to put a V6 TDI in a
T3.  His web site sucks (http://www.ha-projekt.de/), but his work is top
notch.

Cheers,

Jeff

How about Diesel conversions:  Bernd J�ger is THE guy in Europe:
http://www.syncro-bernd-jaeger.de/ENGLISH/TDI-Umbau/tdi-umbau.html  Sorry,
he does not give ground
clearance.
If the new Subaru diesel is not suitable for vanagon transplant, I'll have
Berd put a TDI into my
van next time I take my van to Europe.   m
