Difficult subject to broach is this one!!!!
I love the idea that this site gets people away from the dealerships and into thier own garage, like things used to be!!!! And love the fact people are taking jobs on themselves, but it would be nice to get some thanks for all the info we all provide, maybe I'm just a little old fashioned!!!!!


Sort of where i was coming from. I suppose its an awkward situation. Maybe a guestbook is an alternative, have a button under the how to guides, just the means to have guests give feedback on the info/site.

Those statistics are quite interesting Martin.
As i said earlier it surprises me how active the forum is for such a small one and considering its for a single vehicle, as Jimny's get cheaper and fall into the realms of DIY maintenence for more people i expect the forum will develop.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

It is a cracking site, it's nice to be part of it!!!!
I hope people do register as it's nice to hear from people and what they have been up to!!!!

Martin, yes pal squeeze them dry!!!! Lol,
As my previous post it's just good that people are doing it for themselves, and I just like many others enjoy helping people out and saving them a few quid, and the information on this site would rival any tech book from Suzuki, all the people who have helped to folate this info have worked very hard!!!
Whenever I have problems(which is getting very frequent now) I always try to share with others so if they come across the same scenario they know what to expect....
Would just be nice for someone to say "thanks, the dealer quoted me 500+vat for that and I've done it myself for £60"......
Maybe as mcjimny says, a comments box on the how to's and see if there is much response????

Hi folks! - FNG just registered!
Been on the BigJimny site a fair few times and didn't even realise it had a forum. It's a great site and I'm chuffed I found the forum :kiss: !!!

I was lured over by the Tong event post on Difflock - room for a newbie? I'll fall into the shiney(ish)Jimbo with a small lift and MTs category. Based twixt Ilkley and Otley in God's own Yorkshire so not far away. Anyone else this neck of the woods? (I realise it's a forum with a wide geographical spread!).

Cheers!

Mick

Thanks for the welcome Jamie!

Well up for Tong if it's not all hardcore! (more of an easy going laning guy myself :unsure: lol). Will sort Paypal tomorrow and pm you, I'm off to indulge in beer now - are there many names down yet?

Thanks again!

Intrerest Seems to be growing at the moment so hopefully we will fill all
The spaces!!! I think there are around 6-7 on the let at the moment.... There is plenty to do there if you want to take it easy, if you love laning then you will love tong!!! The perimeter road that runs around the edge of the site is great, log bridges and water splashes the lot......

Right I'm off now my vodka and coke is calling!!!!
