What did you do to your jimny today?

Similar experience today... I too went to Halfwits to get an oil filter for my Jimny... the only Jimny they list in their flip book of oil filters is a 1.9 DDiS model... which has never been available in the UK, only on continental Europe! :evil:

Managed 3 hot laps but then when I came in to cool off I was told by the organisers that Ermintrude was not appropriate and not to go back out which got inside my head and really annoyed me. Yes a 1.3 with a novice behind the wheel isn't going to be fast but with a bit more organization it could have been safer.

Dynamically Ermintrude did better than I expected but it highlighted the need for the quaife diff and some more manly springs. These will happen in due course subject to funding and management approval.

Did they give you a refund if they cut your time short then?

Don't be daft!

Yesterday i removed the exhaust backbox, i then painted the underside of the chassis and painted the backbox.
I then cut 2" off the tail pipe and fitted a chrome extension piece.

Today I made a simple 'stowage' for the straps on the roof of my Jimny.

I dont feel the straps are very neccessary so tend not to use them, but the other week I was making good haste towards work with the roof open and all of a sudden there was a horrendous and alarming vibration noise coming from the open roof.

All that happened was one of the straps had found its way outside the car and was flailing around in the wind, beating itself against the outside of the bodywork. It's happened several times now, so I decided to do something to stop it happening...

I'd be surprised if anyone else with an open topped Jimny is really bothered, but I have made a simple stowage by gluing some velcro on the inside of the cockpit to stop the straps going outside the car.
I just marked the place the velcro needed to go - applied some awesome upholstery glue, and the job was done

Not today but yesterday I changed the rear offside wheel bearing but also buggered my brake pipe so started to make a new one and just can’t screw the new unions in! Also removed the old handbrake-should be cables but the actual wire part pulled straight through the outer sheath...seems the handbrake didn’t just need connecting up! Have new cables ready to go on off James! Also noticed that having the rear brakes clamped off to get me home that the rear brakes had a problem anyway as it now stops on a dime! Cable fitting and pipe fitting today!
