Every one of these used engines came out of a low-damage donor vehicle that drove onto the truck under its own power. They are run up before removal, compression and leak-down tested on the stand, and the code is read off the block and written onto your invoice.

Stock runs from small hatchback motors up to 3.0-litre bakkie and SUV units, weighted towards what works for a living in South Africa: Hilux, Ranger, D-Max, KB, NP200, Hardbody, H100, Triton and BT-50. Behind those sit the Polos, Corollas, Fiestas, i10s and Picantos that fill every workshop bay, plus BMW, Mercedes and Audi stock.

Send your VIN and the code off the old unit before you pay and we confirm the fit at no charge, usually the same working day. If it is not a match we say so. Every price includes 15% VAT, delivery runs two to five working days door to door, and orders over R25,000 ship free inside South Africa.

We do not publish mileage on stripped or imported units, because nobody can verify an odometer reading on a bare engine. What you get instead is a tested unit with a three-month warranty on internal mechanical failure, fitted by a qualified workshop.
