I suppose quite a few diesel engines could fit. Strangely enough, the 2.5 TD engine in the Jeep, was also used by Rover, in their 800. Probably the most annoying thing on mine, was having 3/4's of a tank of fuel and watching it go to zero and the fuel light come on, everytime I went around a corner....

Our '94 Cherokee was a great thing. Luggage space was a bit compromised by the spare in the boot and it was hideous on fuel (4.0l - 10-15 mpg) but in the snow and taking it off road, it was epic. Never spent a penny on it in all the time we owned it. If they did one that did 30 mpg, I'd buy another ...

The rust isn't too bad for a Princess!
It's going to make a real stand out car when it's done.Congrats for rescuing it.

How about an SE4 Scimitar,or an early SE5 ? Should be able to pick up a really nice one for 7K and the mechanicals are pretty easy to come by and of course the body won't rot! SE4 is my favoured choice.Great looking car ;) http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss36/dazmaxton/fs_190_reliant_scimitar_se4...
