Yeah don't worry about the mileage. It's still 25k less than the rest of the car...

Offered him £175 cash so will go for it if he's happy with that- he's lowered the Ebay listing to £200 with the mileage as it is so he would save a fair bit on fees to take cash

He's just replied to accept £175 and will deliver to my mates garage so looks like a goer!

I'll probably hold off until the spring to fit it mind you as I don't want the car off the road until the possibility of snow has gone :)

Looks like a good plan!

Wouldn't it be good if Suzuki made Jimnys with a 1.6 in the first place!

The Jimny filter screws horizontal up against the block on the threaded tube and the liana filter is vertical onto a mounting which is fixed to the block. These are both different ways due to the room you have , from what I can remember

So.... The 1.6 liana engine is in! The Jimny feels like a different car! As others have said this is the engine the Jimny should have come with.

Ok so it's still not a rocket ship but there is much more toque lower down and you get far more out of each gear before you have to change up. The conversation cost me about £440 all in including the engine (£175) gaskets and bits from Suzuki, new oil/filter and labour cost.

Very happy overall! My 118k car now has an engine is with 85k on the clock too so I think it was a good longer term investment as well as being much nicer to drive now :)
