I'm about to change my Idle Air Control Valve on my 2001 Gen 3, as my idle seems to be misbehaving!

Any last minute words of advice or encouragement for a novice would be appreciated!

Took my Jimny along a snow covered lane to test the manual hubs and Maxxis Worm-Drive tyres.

I am very happy to report that both hubs and tyres performed to expectations, there was no wheel slip in 4x4.

Looking forward to a little more snow now, fingers crossed.

Changed the alternator .
1/2 job right? The obvious stubborn culprits , the bottom 8mm hex pivot bolt which lulls you with relative ease of undoing only to find it's a few mm longer than the gap between housing fan blades! However the wire connector wasn't for leaving its home!
The replacement unit joined in by the post for the earth being a midgesdidge further forward than the original so the strap didn't meet ....until a wire clamp was released to give it the play needed. .....and the mounting bracket . 75 mm wider .!
We won out in the end though it was a couple hours longer than hoped , with a tea break .....because if it won't work stop, have a cuppa and it slips in straightaway after!
