Why EN07 Engines Fail Prematurely
Honda Thats G, X, Special Edition (2002-2008, EN07V/EN07W/EN07X)
60,000-90,000 miles
The EN07 series uses a compact timing chain design with a hydraulic tensioner prone to wear under kei car operating conditions, especially on high-mileage JDM imports with uncertain service history.
| Repair Tier | Dealer Price | Specialist Price | What It Involves | Longevity / Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Minor - Preventative Tensioner Replacement Minor | £850 - £1,200 | £550 - £850 | Replace hydraulic tensioner, guide rails, and chain inspection | Viable only before chain stretch occurs; 20k-40k mile extension if caught early |
Intermediate - Full Timing Kit Replacement Intermediate | £1,450 - £2,100 | £950 - £1,450 | Replace chain, tensioner, guides, sprockets, and seals | Recommended for engines over 70k miles; addresses root cause but not other wear |
Full Replacement - Rebuilt EN07 Engine Best Value | £3,200 - £4,100 | £2,450 - £3,050 | Supply & fit rebuilt engine with upgraded tensioner, bench-tested, 12-month warranty | Best value for high-mileage imports; resolves all internal wear simultaneously |
On a Honda Thats worth £3,000-£6,000 as a collector kei import, preventative tensioner replacement makes sense only if the engine is otherwise healthy and under 70k miles. For higher-mileage examples or those with additional symptoms (oil consumption, noise), a rebuilt EN07 unit offers better long-term value and warranty protection.
The Honda Thats represents an ultra-niche segment of the UK JDM import market, with EN07 series engine failures requiring specialist knowledge and parts sourcing. EngineMarket connects you with UK specialists experienced in kei car rebuilds, offering rebuilt engines with upgraded components addressing known tensioner, turbo, and oil consumption issues. Every unit includes a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty and nationwide delivery - compare prices from trusted Honda Thats specialists and keep your collector tall wagon on the road without main dealer premiums.

FAQ
Question 1
Honda Thats engine replacement costs typically range from £2,450-£3,150 for a rebuilt EN07 unit supply-only, with supply & fit adding £850-£1,450 depending on location and variant. Used engines start around £1,250 but carry higher risk for this ultra-niche JDM import.
Key points
Question 2
The EN07V naturally aspirated engine is generally considered the most reliable Honda Thats code, with fewer complex components than turbo variants, though all EN07 codes share timing chain tensioner wear concerns at high mileage.
Key points
Question 3
Your Honda Thats engine code is stamped on the engine block near the cylinder head, typically visible after removing the engine cover; EN07V, EN07W or EN07X will be clearly marked alongside the serial number.
Key points
Question 4
Yes, Honda Thats engines are fully compatible with Daihatsu Mira/Move platforms as they share the EN07 engine family, but confirm exact code match (EN07V/W/X) and transmission type before sourcing a replacement.
Key points
Question 5
Timing chain tensioner wear is the most common Honda Thats engine failure, followed by turbo wastegate issues on EN07W/X and oil consumption from piston ring wear on high-mileage JDM imports with uncertain service history.
Key points
Question 6
For collector-level Honda Thats imports valued £3,000-£8,000, engine replacement is often worthwhile given the model's rarity and enthusiast demand, especially with a rebuilt EN07 unit carrying warranty protection.
Key points
Question 7
Honda Thats engine replacement typically takes 2-4 weeks for rebuilt units sourced from UK stock, or 4-8 weeks if Japan-sourcing is required, plus 1-2 days for supply & fit installation at a specialist centre.
Key points
