Fitted the diff that has the new ARB locker onto the Jimny today. Aired up the tank and it all works!

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

R2D 2 things to consider: price of engine out there plus their labour vs price of engine in UK plus UK labour.
What a spot of luck finding them. Looks like you're in good hands with their racing pedigree. I definitely consider them doing the swap.

You’re not having much luck with those Italian roads, but at least getting the repairs done is straight forward enough.
Just think, if you get the 1.6L engine you will virtually have a new Jimny and should come back a little quicker.

I think the Italian mechanic's are better than the Bulgarian ones. Lucky you.

Today i tryed to get to the bottom of some of the problems with my jimny, suspected vacuum leak in brake booster, bought second hand one from 2007jimny, same part number
While i was digging around that area remembered Reason2douht's post, corroded electrical terminals, bingo not as bad but needed attention (thanks R2d)
All together brakes are better but similar symptoms, Busta did say it is jimny trait,
