Thanks for the prompt response. I had a feeling that the solution Riccy suggested to deal with the issue by taking the vacuum system right out of the game would be the final option, but to be honest as you have probably worked out for yourself I have very little mechanical knowledge and the thought of cutting wires is a little daunting!! Do you know if anyone has produced an ‘idiots’ guide to doing this preferably with images.

Picture from the wiki: www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Vac...checking_and_testing

That picture shows the two white wires I mentioned about joining. They come out of the solenoid block and into a inline plug. You could unplug them and pop a wire between the terminals to try it before chopping anything ;-)

Thanks Riccy. I’ve located the wires in the photograph, undoing the plug might be another story. I think that Jimny mechanics must have the smallest hands in the world. I appreciate you virtually talking me through this process. It’s raining heavy at the minute here in East Yorkshire and I’m at work next week so it’ll be probably Thursday before I get to have a go but I’ll let you know how I got on. Thanks to everyone who have so far shared their knowledge

Can you get a scotchlok connector over the wires? that will join them, and can be removed later. I can never get Suzuki wiring plugs undone without breaking them :(

Looks so easy when I have the broken bits in my hand- just press the clip (but I did- as hard as I could too)

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

That’s a thought the connector is well gunked up and I reckon I would have a job on trying to release it. Using a Scothlok seems an easier solution. I’ll give t a try and report back. Thanks for the suggestion.

Probably very obvious, but you have to remove the little bit of plastic that acts as a stop in one groove to get two wires to go straight through. ;)
