Yes, J20a with a 4 speed auto so my dad can use it for Laning when we go out on days where he can’t use the Jimny...... he doesn’t want to scratch it

I’ve not had any luck trying to do it for one of my LJ80s.


Spoke to the DVLA and they said if I just apply for a v5 using a v62 with as many details as I can for the vehicle then a cover letter stating that the reg is unknown they can usually still process it all.

It's Really easy to do the cambelt on the Gseries engines, if you've done them on other engines then you'll find it a breeze

How different were the speeds? They shouldn't be any different as thats an old verion of the same sheet. Did you make sure 5th gear had the correct ratio as there are two different ratios available. Also I always input ratios to 3 decimal places. Jimny rear diffs are EXACTLY the same diffs as 413/sa...
