The 1.5 litre engine says k15B.

That is a Renault engine :(

I doubt if that will do 140,000 miles like my M series....

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Not sure it is a Renault unit, reading around it looks like its a new Suzuki developed engine, not listed anywhere as a Renault engine that I can see. Renault "K" engines are either 1.4 or 1.6 petrol's, the diesel is 1.5, so it would figure that it isn't Renault derived. Well, I certainly hope it isn't for the same reasons you do...

Yes I think you are getting mixed up with the current diesel engine in the Jimny. This is a Suzuki petrol engine from it's van range, first appearance in a non-commercial vehicle

I much preferred the 4x4 stick change, it was easy to knock it into high 4x4 quickly when the road conditions changed such as a flooded road. With the switch it meant taking your eyes off the road whilst you stabbed the dashboard with your finger...:)
