I've not long had my Jimny either but so glad I have it now! B)
Bit hard not to look smug as you drive past all the people trying and failing to get up hills the Jimny tackles with ease.
I know I should probably help them... :blush:

One of the most useful things ive ever learnt is how to splice loops into ropes - aint too sure how strong they are, but when i got stuck on Draycott Step in the Mendips a couple of years ago, my tow rope survived the recovery attempt. My standard towing eye well :blush: :lol: So far this winter, no problemo, mind theres more snow in Africa at the moment than we have in Stoke!!! :angry:

If it is genuine from brim full to 1/2 a tank is about 105 miles. :blink:

Apparently, there are some fakes out there that do more than 30 to the gallon :silly:

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