Some body could do well to import deizel ones from abroad , i know of a man who imports tractors from France does very well. Some one could make a good business out of it.

Where i was north of Broken hill on the station, it was approx 4 hrs to town, an hour and a half to the neighbours and 2 hrs to the pub !
Went with the boss and his mates on a riding weekend all off-road or dirt tracks, did 1000km that weekend. The mates had travelled a 1000km from Victoria just to get to the station ! The outback is a huge place ,!!!
The Lake Frome Monster by Arthur Upfield is a detective novel set along the fence.

A mate of mine , who has lots of “great ideas” ....... looked hard at converting Suzuki’s with , I think ...a 1400 cc Peugeot/ Citroen diesel....don’t think he ever tried it.
Got to call by so will ask..... sounded like a good idea if properly engineered..

The vw 1.6 / 1.9tdi has been fitted to the jimny abroad and would be the easiest of conversions- parts & adapter plate are easy to source. If you wanted to go pd or common rail the ecus are very easily re -flashed for stand alone operation.

A psa engine would be much harder as the ecu depends on the bsi to function and is not easy to work around.

I’ve seen various engine conversions in the older sj’s. Vw tdi, Isuzu 1.5 tdi and Suzuki swift gti to name a few. Not sure what they do in the Jimmy?

I bought this suzuki for 400 euro. It has off road tyres. I have a sprayer in the back and it's handy for doing around the field edges.
Handy for running in the sheep too. 28 years old and sound everywhere. Would recommend them.

I had a Suzuki Grand Vitara for over 10 years and it was the best car I’ve ever had. 110,000 miles and not including service items it cost me £17 in repairs.

We have a friend who works in car marketing. If an ad agency want cars of any type, he supplies them from supercars to hatchbacks. He’s done work for JCB and other construction stuff and covered Yugo cars to Ferrari and Lamborghini and everything in between. He reckons for value for money, economic ownership and reliability you cannot beat Suzuki.
