Greetings from Seattle:
        Thanks to all who have responded.  Much appreciate the insights from this
huge pool of experience.  As I too often do, I neglected an important detail
in my original message.  We presently have a Diesel Westy and wish to retain
the Diesel, but convert to a 1.9ltr Diesel or TD or even a TDI.  We don't wish
to leave the diesel ranks yet.  Has anyone succesfully done such conversions
and where does one obtain engine or kit to do so at a reasonable cost.  I am
aware that Eurospec advertises such a conversion but have not seen any
postings about their costly conversion completed.

Sorry about the mixup and thanks again,

Edward Lowe
