It's always the way mate, just as you get one thing fixed another problem rears its head, touch wood I have been fairly lucky with the Jimny so far but have had the same with previous cars.
As for the overheating, is the rad covered in mud by any chance? This would impart the cooling quite a bit. I did read somewhere about soaking it over night in a tray of water to get mud out from the fins.
Gonna give the rad a good clean on sunday. Dont want too do too much too it at the moment as its still got 1.5 months warranty left on the engine/gearbox. Only issue is the garage is a good 80 miles away, so im doing all i can without voiding the remaining warrant. They where happy for me to do an oil/filter swap and clean the rad and replace the fan belt, but im taking it up there in 2 weeks for a good going over. No point going all the way there for a belt and some oil.
Weird thing with the cooling issue is its only up hill :blink: Can leave it sat idling for a good hour or until you get bored and the temp rises a fraction of the gauge, but no more than a car should do. My old man left his old sj idling in his barn/workshop accidently one evening, was sat for near as 24 hours and was still going strong the following evening!
iv nearly rebuilt my hole truck thanks to the fact of i fix one thing and some thing else is wrong :lol: stick with it mines only waiting on tyres and MOT now (and yes iv got my hand firmly on my wooden table) :lol:
