I managed to get the new axle retainers and replacement brake pads fitted to BigJimny last night (an updated article on fitting the rear disks will follow soon). Therefore we are ready for the Thames Valley 4x4 event this weekend at Nellies Dell, Hampshire - see DETAILS HERE - Does anyone else in the south feel like coming along?
The car seems to be "eating" parts. The table below shows the trail of expense!.
So having changed the Tie-Rod end (expensively !!) I took the Jimny down to have the wheels aligned.
Ok so I admit I paid far too much for my new Tie-Rod end (see HERE) , some of you have done better than me on getting a cheap fitting. However, that has not stopped me writing a guide on how to change it.
Maciej has sent is some pictures and information on his very smart Jimny!
