probably from the previous owner bumping up kerbs


That's what I'm hoping for anyway..lol.

Getting a free check done when new tyre are fitted, £30 to sort it - touch wood!!

All this bloody snow!!

I got mine, cos Auchterarder is a nightmare for snow & I stay up a 1/2 mile hill Farmer's track.

The bottom road is also completely ignored by the council for gritting - hence my question about driving on icy tarmac.

As far as i can tell, the Jimny was the best option available to me for price & practicality. It's a 2nd car, wee runner to get us oot & aboot, we only work 3 miles away too, so it won't be doing a lot of miles.

Will be nearly £2.5k once I've put the new AT tyres on it & tarted it up a bit, roof bars etc.. for the shopping. 2001 Y plate, with a newish clutch, timing belt & 80k miles...Not bad considering they were going for more in the bad snowy spell (which is when I got it, last week.)

I really like it.
