To be honest mate, you should stick with petrol. Your very fortunate to have cheap petrol over your side of the pond. Modern diesel engines are nothing but trouble. These 1ND engines are one of the more troublesome engines Toyota have ever made.

I would guess your looking at about £250 for an injector in one of these. £750-£1000 for the high pressure diesel pump. £1000 for a turbo. Not to mention you would have to find someone from Europe to ship those parts to you if any of them went wrong.

You would also need to fit the intercooler in the front next to the radiator. Then there is the emissions control system which i confess I'm not familiar with for that model but it probably has a DPF/Ad blue system, which probably means a tank in addition to the fuel tank. Piping. Wiring. The control system for it and the exhaust would obviously be none standard.

My guess is the only practical way to do it and not spend years scrounging around for parts and pulling your hair out with wiring would be to get one carefully disassembled, the body cut in half and put in a shipping container and sent to you. I know that's how they get non approved cars from Japan into Australia.
