• A rebuilt D4F engine costs less than £1,000 supplied and fitted.
• Twingos have very low depreciation, making repairs financially sensible.
• Avoid replacing if the car has severe rust or structural damage.
• A 12-month warranty on a rebuilt engine adds long-term value.

• H4D codes are stamped on the flat machined surface near the oil filter.
• You can also find the exact engine code via a free DVLA reg check.
