I believe there are two main reasons why this is popular (and works) in the US and not here.
1. VW diesels are quite rare here... hence expensive.
2. The VW diesel suits LHD better than our RHD. (Manifold fouls on steering and brake master/booster).
There are kits available in the US to bolt one into a Sierra/Samurai.
