Whatever next, we'll all be having an argument about which boots have got the best tread pattern. Then maybe we'll start debating whether or not they're road legal!

After a year of ignoring this thread I decided to bore you with a very brief uodate. The Jimny has done far fewer miles this year than I planned but it continues to put a smile on my face. it just delivers zero hassle, zero breakdowns and positive feedback from other road users. Just wishing I could have ordered a new one to replace it in January 2022.

If you are really happy with it, why not just keep it?

As we live in strange times my G4 Jimny approaches another milestone in its life - a requirement to have passed an MOT test. Normally it would have been exchanged for a new one at three years old but as we all know - currently not a realistic option.

I've done half the mileage originally planned so don't think that it should be failing an MOT at 24k miles or be clapped out. Thought a fresh set of wiper blades and a dealer service wouldn't go amiss - plus the factory warranty still has a few weeks to go should any bigger issues appear.

One issue that I have noted of late is that fuel consumption seems worse since I started using that new green fuel. Not convinced that we are really saving the planet, being more efficient or effective with our use of resources
