Hello

Hi

I've just bought myself a Jimny, it will mostly be used as a normal car and I'm not in to serious off roading but I thought a fun little 4x4 like a suzuki would be great for getting lost down devon lanes and exploring the moors...

I took it for a little trip to dartmoor today....so far so good.....and great fun

I hope to do some work on it myself so I thought joining a forum would be a good place for advice.

Cheers Tony

Hi I have got my first one and hope to tinker myself.

What was it like driving through the water?

A very warm welcome to this fine forum it’s good to have you join us ………………….…

Hi tony. My tip for you is to fit transfer case and diff breathers and change the oil in them also if your going to/have been driving through big puddles like that

Welcome... best colour jimny how old is it?

May also be worth buying a set of king pin bearings also... as water and bearings don't mix

welcome along!
You'll love the Jimny, they're GGRRREAT!

Thanks for the welcome.

Cheers I'll bear the tips in mind if I decide to do any regular off roading....I just saw the ford there and decided to give it a bash (the river ford not an random mondeo with old biddies having a pic nic in it) , it was about a foot deep at its deepest part and was no worries.........even though my girlfriend refused to stay in the car incase I got stuck half way...so I ordered her over the perfectly good bridge next to the ford to take photos

Its a 2004 model with 49000 miles.

Not sure if I'll do any mods....but I may get a tow bar and definitely need roof bars for my kayak

Hi and welcome, be carefull with the pennies, jimnys get addictive.
Silver jimnys are the best!
