Discreet but capable

Bit of a brown trouser moment on the roundabout there then :laugh:

You will need the 4L for the lakes trip. Some steep stuff there. The LSD should be excellent as well

You might be better off using the 4x4 more than you think off the tarmac. Overall wear and load are more even meaning less breakages and I find it makes the steering smoother on bumpy stuff as a side bonus.

The willwoods look the part Standard jimny brakes are pants, but they sound pricey. Is it a jimny specific kit?

p.s. I have a spare push button t-box in the shed. Should I bring it with me on Sunday?! :laugh:

Yes Riccy, jimny specific and works with std 15" wheels, not just pricey but outrageous. I'll just keep sticking fivers in the jar..........

I'll let you know about the box on Thursday, hopefully a service and reset will sort it, I'm pretty confident after reading some bumpf that Mr Lines kindly provided. If I read it right, I'm a confused jimny owner in need of a rest.......

If it all goes to rats, I'll navvy for jack.......

MY BAD;)

Well sticky callipers have pushed the brakes in to an emergency job with no time to save for Gucci parts. I've made the best compromise I can with the money available... this lot will be arriving in the next few days.

New Aisin callipers
Kinetix drilled and grooved solid discs
Greenstuff pads
Braided brake lines

Lets hope this sorts it, I'm pretty sure it will.

I think the sticky callipers may have been responsible for a recent broadside moment on a fast A-road. I thought it may have been my heavy foot and the new diff, conspiring to kill me. As the sticky callipers worsened following a rebuild, the back end has gotten light on a few occasions in the damp at low speeds. Braking with any steering input is bad but in the wet, it's an invitation to rally driving.

Save having plain ebc discs that is essentially what I have. It stops very well.
