Hi Steven,

The best source for these is probably eBay UK, where sellers
speak something resembling English and many accept PayPal or
BidPay.  Go to the eBay UK home page and click on the
category "Automotive", then do a search for "ETKA", which is
what the UK versions are called.  I haven't heard of ELSA,
does that have SEAT models in addition to VW?

Good luck with your conversion.  I looked into doing the
same conversion on my 1985 Transporter but decided that the
complex electronics were beyond my ability.  If you ever
decide the same, there is a custom Bosch all-mechanical
Diesel injection pump available for the 1.9TDI that makes it
almost as mechanically simple as the 1.9TD - but the pump is
not cheap.

If I can be of any help with contact details, please don't
hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Tony
