Good morning Mike beautiful morning here in Bulgaria we are two hours ahead you in Britain. Been out and ran the Jimny and Cremator! is right mine clicks in and out. And as you said the outer ring runs of course and then the inner runs with the Air-con switched on. Let me know if I can be of any further help with this or any other stuff you'd like to verify. Seems like we have the same model etc.
Regards Tony

Thank you both, very helpful.
I will add more gas until mine starts to click in /out.
Same Tony, if you ever need me to check anything just ask as we have the same model.

Chickened out of doing a full power steering flush, seems there could be problems getting air in the system so I've elected to syringe out half litre of fluid at a time and top up with fresh. Will do this several times over, at least the old fluid will be up graded to some degree.
Cheers.
The only risk-free way to to a near-complete power steering fluid change in a Jimny (and in most other vehicle models for that matter) is to suck out a part of the fluid from its reservoir tank using a syringe (while the engine is OFF), replenish the missing part with new fluid and then drive the vehicle a bit.
Then repeat this same procedure several times until the color of the fluid in its reservoir tank becomes almost the same as the color of the brand new fluid.
This method wastes excessive amounts of new power steering fluid, but the advantages is that it is dead simple to do (only a syringe and a parking lot required) and there is no risk of introducing air in the system.
When using this method, the capacity of the power steering system is irrelevant. You will need (I think) about three liters of new fluid to achieve near-perfect flush.
