Hate

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Yeah, but I'm thinking in terms of insurance, Suzuki fitted the 1300 SPi in SJs in the factory (late on obviously) so it's less of a modification.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Frank Pickles don't charge extra for different engines anyway... you would have the cheaper tax though

Yeah, that's also true. That's actually one of the reasons I went for an SJ initially instead of a 'Sport'trak or a series Land Rover 2.25, before I fell in love with the Samurai we rented in Turkey.

It's only like an extra £50 a year though... or something similar!

It's well worth £50 a year for the 1600 engine :D
