daBenz really did have someone run out with a trash can while trolling through a quiet, small mid-western town (daBenz doesn't have a hood pad). Wasn't sure what was going on so I stepped into the throttle and beat him to the end of his driveway.

beginning to like the slight odor of diesel.
We compared vehicle fuel bills. LOL
Guess which cost less.

Her 2002 Grand Prix uses 2 tanks of gas to my 1 tank of diesel.
She has me looking for another possible buy for her.

Here is a chukle:
She asked if Jaguar offered a diesel. LOL!!!

If jag offered a diesel, it would probibly make grown men cry..

But there very attractive vehicles.

wants me to investigate installing a MB diesel in a Jaguar.
I have friends that may be willing to supply an XJ6 body.

What engine would you suggest?

Hmmm; I wonder if the combination would be Super Turtle! LOL..

Sounds like your wife is as loony tunes as the rest of us.

I'd say OM603 if it'll fit. Aren't the hood lines awfully low?

Vee haff vays off makink it fitt effen eff ve must juice force...
There is not a lot of difference in engine height.

Maybe make it a slant-five? Imagine: a Jag pulling up to the diesel pumps at a truck stop. That would be a funny sight.

My wife keeps taking my 300SD and leaving me to suffer with the gasser.
Hmmm.
Wonder if a 190D would make her happy?

Not once she's accustomed to an S class. Sounds like you need an SDL.

BTW, this forum is not like some others where threads get deleted if they have no activity. So you don't have to go and bump all your threads to keep them alive. But if you're just doing that for fun then it's a different story.

Trying to relax, need some smiles...

Hello,
Jaguar DO offer a diesel S-type or X-type, only not in the USA.

Thanks All...........

Just found out that there was limited production of the XJ40 with an OEM diesel engine. :SHOCK:
I am told there is a fellow in Canada who has one.
I am trying to arrange a visit and test drive.
