Thanks Gus, the jimny is used every day and I hope that if I look after it, it will look after me. I would love to do the big lift, snorkel mud tyres etc but I have to be realistic.

The new ignition coils arrived this morning. After fitting them I went for a long drive and sat in some traffic and fingers crossed there hasn't been any power loss. Accelerates like it use to again. I should have suspected they were on their way out when I had to replace the ignition leads a year ago. Being in the location that they are in, It must be the heat from the engine that eventually causes them to fail.

I wanted to repaint my calipers as they had a nice film of surface rust, but instead I just left this job to rust converter to do its magic. It's also easily wiped off unlike caliper paint.

Today I fitted the 3 transfer box mounts. The 3 bottom nuts came off easily but I had to remove both the arms to use heat on the top 3. The decade old ones were softer and compressed more easily but they hadnt deteriorated as much as I had thought.

A bit of luxury for the cold mornings to come. A heated seat pad fitted neatly behind the waterproof seat overs.

I received this bonnet protector today from Dave at Bits4vits. It's used, but with a quick clean and polish it it came up a treat.

This morning I removed the anti roll bar and wire brushed the flakey paint and corrosion off and started coating it in hammerite.
