Yeah but bit too much work for me to justify it at the moment as money bit tight At mo. Didn't charge me for checking it over which was nice. Can get £285 for it on we buy any car which is pretty rubbish but as its needs a bit of work might be only option that or eBay for breaking but a lot of hassle.

The dreams dead :( took car to local mechanic.... loads wrong with it. The Head gasket has gone not sure how bad til take it off. 3 cylinders work 4th stuck. Failed on emissions not sure if cats gone or to do with head. dodgy wiring on lambada, bit of rust on break lines, fuel lines etc something wr...

Haven't taken cylinder head off/out yet. Do I need to drain the rad and take that out first to get easier access? Is there a Haynes manual for jimnys? Looks like I have bit of an oil leak too towards back of engine. Think it's near the cam position sensor or something but not 100% on what that bits ...

Probably taking your eyes out. I got quoted £300 for a Vitara engine. Paid £60 to a private seller. Be much cheaper to source one privately. Look on the forum and ebay. Probably get an engine for that Thanks will do. Like you said I should look at new engine for that. Hopefully I do not need to go ...

I've been quoted up to £150 for second hand head on 1st choice parts. That sound right?

Hi All. It's a W reg. Been told it's a G engine. Believe the head to be cracked going to look into taking out and seeing how bad. Possibly get it skimmed if that will help? Yeah I really need to learn and take it slow also need to build my toll collection! Wife was not impressed when I rescued it to...

Hi all New to the forum and a proud owner of a Jimny! A friend was going to scrap it but I rescued the car as have always wanted one. I have been told it needs a new cylinder head.
