If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I finally got around to fitting the reverse camera. Supposed to take 1.5 hours :laugh:
Taking off the time spent having to constantly try to match Suzuki's diagrams with the real thing, and stopping off to underseal the bits revealed and get some dinitrol into the door step, took me nearer 4. (Still can't find what item 10 is supposed to be though, that holds the wire to the bottom of the glovebox rail, and I have some black sticky double sided sealant tape left over )
I'm not a professional, so it takes me a lot longer to do the job to my standards, if they can do it in 1.5 hours start to finish there are some corners being cut somewhere.
Anyway, I found the pollen filter behind the glovebox, right where you can change it without standing on your head in the footwell.
It is under the white panel that actually clips off easily. I was sure this is some sort of mistake, but I can't find any way to get the glovebox out without using a tyre lever, I'm not strong enough to "just pop it out" - hence the marks where the upper pegs go.
The result, I like the little shaded part that is the outline of the spare wheel. Now if only Suzuki could source some more unobtanium and make me a towbar & electrics that have only been on order since May, I'd be able to see the towball and drive it straight at the hitch.
Yes there is a right amount of Jimny lean on this one, I think it is worse than the Gen3, I pretty much have to duck under it and climb up into the drivers door like getting into a mosquito bomber :laugh:

Push it to the nearest petrol station because the serpentine belt snapped. I assure you it took longer than a hour.
