Ken -- Just checking, but I'm guessing this is still the non-running
1.9 TD, right?  No injection pump?  I understand this must just be
how the engine is available to you and certainly not your fault,
but I sure appreciate this being made clear upfront (which you
usually do).  Otherwise I get all excited, only to be let down again ;)

Does anyone have a clear notion of why the engine is only available in
this form?  Is it a means of avoiding US anti-pollution regulations?
