I get 450k's plus per tank so I think you have a problem for sure. Mine warms up and temp hits normal after about 5 mins, nothing like your length of time. You do put the Jimny in 5th gear hey? ;)

Haha yea I do use 5th and the hubs are working fine.
Can anyone give me a bitta insight I've done a bit of testing with the water temp and engine temp and I believe it could be a faulty thermostat but if where I believe it is, it's going to be a pain in the backside to do :angry:

Is it located pretty much right behind and underneath the intake manifold? And if so how can I remove it with our having to pull apart the rest of the engine to get to it haha?

Cheers

All i can find about it say so, not sure if it differs between engines. Have you tried the test i posted before to diagnose the stat as being at fault?

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

Yea I did and its just stats cold for ages then slowly starts to get warm but never to the point of not being able to touch it so I presume and hope that is the problem, but there is only one way to find out... Time to pull off the intake manifold :unsure:
