well dave collected yesterday and nice guy. wasnt wanting anything for the gear but he gave me a bottle of absolute vodka to say thanks.....needles to say i was very happy last night and half left ready for lancaster piss up on wednesday :laugh: cheers dave hope its alright for you
It was great to meet you Adam,Thank you for the parts! I am glad that you enjoyed the vodka! Going to fit the parts this week if we have some nice weather!
Well after several hours of jacking, banging and general swearing I have got a functional Jimny again! Using the parts from Adamjimny, I replaced the back spring and the shocks, and just the spring on the front (could not get the shocks off). Drives nicely now and no leaning with weight in the back :woohoo: Also it is a little stiffer and I would swear the Jimny is a little high than before!
Looking at the old springs the left was actually shorter than the replacement by about 1 cm and was a little bit softer(the right hand was the same length as the replacement, but a little softer) Also the left shock was bleeding a bit inside the plastic cover bit, which was not noticeable before taking it off.
