Fitment on a used sump varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Nissan Almera ran in two main generations in the UK: the N15 (first generation, 1995–2000) and the N16 (second generation, 2000–2006), with the N16 receiving a facelift around 2003. These generation boundaries matter because the sump and engine family changed between them, so always confirm which generation your car belongs to before sourcing a used sump.
A 2002 Almera is N16 pre-facelift and a 2004 is N16 post-facelift (after the 2003 refresh), so they share the same generation — but whether the sump interchanges across that facelift boundary depends on the engine code, which can vary even within the same year range. Check your engine code on your V5C or via a VIN check, then confirm with the breaker that their unit matches, as ancillary and mounting details can change mid-production.
The engine code is the single most important detail for a used sump — two Almeras from the same year can carry different engines (for example petrol versus diesel, or different capacity petrols) that use completely different sumps. You'll find the engine code on your V5C or through a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker is far more useful than the year alone.
Yes, fuel type matters significantly — the petrol and diesel engines in the Almera are entirely different units with different sumps that will not interchange. Always specify petrol or diesel, and ideally your full engine code, when requesting a quote from a breaker.
Trim level does not affect sump fitment on the Almera — a GX, SE, or Sport model fitted with the same engine will use the same sump. What can differ between trim levels are cosmetic and interior features, none of which have any bearing on the engine's sump, so focus on matching the engine code rather than the trim badge.
These are different generations with different engine families, so a direct swap across the N15-to-N16 boundary is very unlikely — the engines, and therefore the sumps, are not the same. Confirm the engine code from your V5C and check with the breaker whether the specific unit they have is listed against your registration, as fitment across generations should never be assumed.
