Pipe identification was created by RogersJimmy
Could someone please identify these 5 pipes, from top to bottom, on my 2000 model Jimny? Thank you.

That's great, thank you. I don't have to worry about them as I have freewheel front hubs and the vacuum disabled.

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

The 2 very thin pipes are brake lines, the thickest pipe is fuel supply, and the two middle sized pipes are fuel return and tank vent.
Keep an eye on those fuel pipes, they rust badly especially at the bend under the driver's feet and spray a fine mist of fuel out when the engine is running, which causes a smell.
Changing all 5 pipes is an all day job but perfectly do-able even on the drive (you have access to a lift- luxury!) you need the 3 sizes of copper alloy pipe, a flaring tool for the brakes, 2 sizes of fuel hose and clips.
You have to cut the pipes into small pieces to get them out of the clips- new clips are £££ from Suzuki
