Today I crawled under looking for the cause of my wobble. Thanks to this very forum realised that I need to spend next Saturday changing kingpin bearings.

Every days a school day :)

DIY 7" Double-Din Pioneer head unit installation on my 2019!

Was very interesting pulling apart the dash etc. as I've not seen any videos.

It was very much a figure it out experience but all went well.

Thanks to another BigJimny member, I found a replacement O2 sensor for reasonable money from Sparkplugs UK which I fitted today.
I'm not yet sure if this is the offending article that keeps putting my eng' management light on, but it's a start.



For anyone else with a VVT M13A vehicle, this is a DENSO DOX-0354 Lambda/Oxygen Sensor
£65 from Sparklplugs UK.
Fitting it req'd a Lambda socket which luckily I already had, but which can be found in places such as Halfrauds for a small fee.
I was worried about loosening the old one. but it gave up easily when I put a spanner on the hex at the top of the socket and gave it a small but firm clout with a lead-shot-filled hammer.
New one torqued to 29.5 lbf.ft
(354. lbf.in) (40. Nm) (three white knuckles :laugh: )

Not today, but just spent the week exploring the Scottish borders in our little Jimny. It did everything perfectly, munching the miles on the M6 at 60mph (it will go faster, I choose not to), and then roaming the single tracks in the borders. It was even T-Shirt sunny with breathtaking scenery, great week. Average mpg for the 1200 miles was 41.8 mpg, not too bad.
I did highlight the need for rear door mounted "brewing area", some form of fold down burner, kettle, water, teabag and cup holder device. Going to seriously have a look for a solution :laugh:
