Japanese diesel engines are still a bit different in the UK, and few people are well experienced with them.
I knew someone with a Hilux Surf a little while ago which popped it's head. £1200 plus labour if you please.
The gallon of petrol and a match are starting to look like a good idea.
Either that, or leave it parked in a major french city tonight.

The 2.4 surf seems to have a habit of head popping. The 3 litre is meant to be better.
Japanese cars (especially imports) seem to be very pricey for parts. Have been looking at the Suzuki Cappuccino recently and the parts prices are terrifying!

Until recently we had a Nissan Serena, it was an official UK car not one of the better spec imports, parts for it were a nightmare price, it was difficult to work on, although it was useful being big and diesel.

In the same way that the injection pump on a Land rover TDi engine is almost identical to a PSA 1.9TD engine.
There is actually a large amount of crossover of parts between manufacturers, but the problem is that there are subtle differences for different cars. If you are unfortunate enough to have one of the rarer designs, then prices are accordingly high.
