I get a lot of Jimny stuff from local breakers (who don't over inflate the price 'cos its a 4x4?) Try Jap spares at Sheffield or DMS at Doncaster.

usually a breakers wont split the engine for bits thell sell it complete , ill try jap spares tommorow , it doesnt look a bad job to do on the car.

Are you sure its the sump, and not the seal, or even a crank case seal gone, mine weeps from the front and I've changed the rear seal twice. Each time I initially thought the sump gasket had gon. If it is the sump you should be able to get it welded up as I think its only mild steel.

definatly the sump the car spent 5 years on the shetland island so its seen weather , ive sorted it now and re sumped it :doh:
