Another one from Scotland (you will see ASBOjimny appearing in the pictures), this time a"work in progress" from Gaz.

Just an update (I am preparing a full article!)

Took the front hub off to find it full of water/grease....

Thanks to Stuart Bell for sending in these pictures of his fully modified Jimny.

So it never rains but it pours!

 Having rebuilt the entire rear end (trailing arm bushes) and replaced the front shock absorber rubbers I put it in for an MOT.

The failure list was extensive:

Front sidelight bulb - it was working when I tested it

Front nearside kingpin bearing - fair cop it was worse than I thought

Front offside Kingpin bearing - again worse than I thought

Front nearside wheel bearing - looked fine to me but now its in bits I can hear the noise 

Brake imbalance at the rear - going to be hard to find as the brakes are all new.

But strangest of all - Roll Cage!

Having passed the MOT in the last few years the Roll Cage managed to fail on "obscuring Area A on the windscreen"

Will I ever get back off-roading!
