There is a Jeep diesel engine on their European version of the Liberty. I can't recall the specs. There are shops in America that convert that into Wranglers over here. I looked into it last year for any common conversion to diesel for my Jeep and it looked to be about $10k in total costs for a new motor put in.

A few years back the Jeep Liberty was available with a diesel in the USA. IIRC the diesel was not available in CA. ~2.8 liter common rail diesel if my older brain cells are correct.

I remember my cousin talking about it (mechanic at a Chrysler dealer, it was definatly a Mercedes diesel and required all the expensive maintenance and repairs that Mercedes do which resulted in many unhappy customers.

The diesel in the Liberty was a VM Motori unit, the diesel in the Grand Cherokee was sourced from Mercedes.

Lotus does use Toyota sourced engines. The Elise and the Exige use the Yamaha designed and Toyota built 2ZZ 1.8 liter with a Lotus ECU. Don't remember which Toyota V6 engine is in the Evora.

Nice Video! I really appreciate that you have given such a nice video regarding to solder energy. Everyone should be aware of solder energy usage. This video will be very helpful to every member to determine their knowledge about solar energy.
