Actually...back in the 80's when Renault/AMC started production, there were 2.1 litre Renault turbo diesels installed in a few XJs, mostly for export to Canada and Europe...
Here is a link to a review on them...at least in the Australian market...
I'd like to try one just for the fun of it...

Though rare and expensive, I´ve seen a few over here in Europe. They are kinda dogs, from a standing start, but get almost triple the mileage of a 4 ltr. I used to laugh at em, until I saw an XJ with a snorkel, with water coming in the windows, still chugging, the motor and most of the Jeep under water. One thing about a diesel, as long as they are getting air and fuel they´ll run just fine, the electrical system doesn´t mean much for diesel combustion. Heck I was impressed. :-D [addsig]

I must disagree you can find them here in the states I almost bought one last year I forget the numbers and the years but there where a certain numbers brought in for so many years. The one I drove had alot of miles but still had a lot of stuff to it. In 05 the liberty is going to be offered in diesel they are saying around 30 mpg. If I rememder right it was between 600 and 3000 units a year so you can find them just look.[addsig]

i have relatives in london and was actually there for 2 weeks this summer staying with them. you don't see nearly as many jeep vehicles there as compared to in the states, but there are still a decent number of cherokees, and most of them are diesel. gasoline prices over there were something like 4 or 5 dollars a gallon (approximately... since the english use pounds and litres)... so it definitely would make sense to have an economical diesel. oh and yes... EVERY vehicle (cherokees included) have the steering wheel on the right hand side. it was rather cool

Was checking out a bunch of diesel XJ´s, on a European used car site, www.mobile.de. Seems to be many offered for sale with, bad head gaskets.[addsig]
