Hi,
Looking for advice, unfamiliar with repairs / faults.
We have a September 2009 Jimny, just past MOT but developed a noise had it in at Suzuki who advised £2000, for new Transfer Box.
Is it worth the repair from Suzuki or worth trying somewhere else?
Based in Chinley, Derbyshire.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Thanks

£2000 is a lot in my view.
Your Jimny has an electric operated transfer box which are unreliable and therefore in demand. This pushes the price up but you should be able to get a used one with a short warranty. It's then a simple job for a basic engineer to swap them over.

You can probably get one from BB Autos, and have it fitted for around £500 all in. Or one of the guys who breaks them on here may be in touch.
