I might have asked this before, but which OBD display did you buy? I did think about one, but there seemed to be mixed views on whether they would work with a UK Jimny Gen 4.

@DrRobin It was this one, but doesn't seem to be available any longer, bought mine in 2022.
I have just remembered why I bought the yellow one. Notwithstanding the irritating add ons of modern motoring, the yellow one is sufficiently similar to temeraire as to make one vitally important thing possible; I can work on it on my drive with simple tools. All the stuff I don't like is really just noise that fails to detract from the basic goodness of a jimny. And it's yellow which kinda suits me.

Pavement princess or back road menace?

ADORJ Attention Deficit Ooooh Race Jimny!
The no. 1 goal of car manufacturers is to make money.
Nowadays most people see their vehicle as a domestic appliance, hired on a PCP for three years then swapped for the latest model.
Suzuki clearly designed the new Jimny with a "retro" look and it worked, completely sold out immediately.
I am not sure how they could have done it better to be honest. As with the old/new Defender there are always those who prefer the "proper" Defender and complain that the new one is a "pavement princess" but it's the most successful vehicle in terms of sales that Land Rover have ever produced.
Ineos tried the "keep it original" path with the Grenadier. No fripperies just a traditional live axle 4x4. lt's a fabulous vehicle but it's not exactly flying out of the showroom.
lts just too niche for the "urban" buyer who, let's face it, makes up the majority of car buyers now.
