4wd problem was created by Lynnskatz
Hi first of all i better introduce myself, im Lynn im from tyne & Wear and ive just bought my Jimny 
unfortunetly the 4x4 isnt working, had it to my local garage and the front vacuum pipe has corroded and snapped off near the front drivers side hub.
Does anyone know somewhere cheaper than the main dealers for a replacement vacuum pipe?
Thanks in advance

If the corrosion is in the middle'ish of the pipe, you could cut it out and slip over the pipe some synthetic pipe to connect them again.
The previous owner has done this on all my vacuum pipes.
Hope this helps. New pipes are probably quite expensive from Suzuki, perhaps Martin can provide you with some.

Hi Lynn and welcome along.
there's a few of us in Tyne & Wear, where abouts are you ?
I'm in South Shields and can recommend a a trustworthy, non-rip-off garage in Shields if that's any good
he knows about Jimny's too

Jalapeño, IISY?

maybe a better option would be (like me) get rid of the vacuum system altogether and fit Free Wheeling Hubs.
Then YOU control when the front shafts are turning and not some stupid vacuum system!
