Welcome to BigJimny!

You say 'de-stressing'... don't attempt to buy spares from suzuki then... as their prices are rather stressful!

My most recent findings are the kingpin parts...

They are great cars... and worth every penny... just slightly frustrating :side:
I'd love to mod mine, but being a daily driver for myself and mum, its doubtful it'll ever get much further. She moans about it enough as it is!

I'll be moving to the darkside with my next car i feel, LR are calling :whistle: Will have to wait until my insurance comes down though... as atm it'll cost me 3k!

Too be honest I didn't plan on keeping it , I tool it in px on a vw passat and it's such a little gem I decided to keep it and have some fun with it as it owes me very little, I did read that they suffer from kingpin probs but touch wood these seem ok ... For now !!
A couple of my friends have LR s that they love but do seem to be forever underneath them or working on them , I guess when the bug bites that's what we do lol
