Here in the UK we have a lot of diesel engined cars, both mine and the wifes dailies (2.0L X-trail and my 3.1L Trooper) are diesels and frankly I wouldn't go back to a modern small petrol again as I love the torque these things put out.

No hard feelings at all, and I didn't think you were knocking them. Sucks to here about your experience with good 'ol American ingenuity
I never have been a big fan of alot of Cat's engines. They've had some good ones, but they have definitely had some questionable designs over the years.
