The steering column is in the way for RHD thats why they never came to the UK

The earlier S Class was available in a turbodiesel model. I believe the turbodiesel W140 used the same engine and it's not one of Mercedes' best - it's renowned for bending rods

Fitting the engine would be the same as any engine swop. Brilliantly simple in conception, fiendishly bl**dy difficult in execution

Malc is on track again. Yes it can fit but not with the turbo in RHD form. Lose the turbo & you'll have to cut holes in the floor for pedals:lol:
