No problem Jeger
Diesels are popular over here because of fuel costs. Although we have a good selection of vehicles there are a couple on mainland Europe which we don't see ( yet ), for example - Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon - available in Europe in petrol & Diesel but only available in the U.K. as the 2 door petrol model.
Also, we have very limited colour and trim specifications over here. You can't buy a Patriot with Freedom Drive 2 and grey trim is the only one on offer plus 5 exterior colours ( Silver, Black, Inferno Red, Steel Blue and Jeep Green ). Jeep's Mygig system isn't offered but the Boston Acoustics system is.

Took a Wrangler Sahara Unlimited CRD Auto out today for about an hour without a chaperone
. Very impressive indeed.
A lot of windnoise on speed over 60mph, but not unbearable. Cabin felt a little claustrophobic - probably because of the roll cage. Steering was a little vague at low speed - but not a problem.
I would seriously consider replacing my KJ with one of these, but can't afford to at the moment
. I would have preferred to have tried the 6 speed manual version though.
