Hi People I have just bought a 2004 jimny mode red and silver 66k miles mostly service history .
Just sold a newish Jeep wrangler the jimny is like a miniature wrangler except the jimny is likeable.
I hated the wrangler piece of American Junk.
Already another jimny pulled up alongside us at the traffic lights and shouted out of the window "Hi".

I like the fact that I have had the jimny a week and I already have downloaded a manual , I know every spare part and how much it costs. Will probably do the mechanicals and servicing myself.
Because I learned to drive the Wrangler economically my first calculations of my jimny mpg is at least 36mpg.

My first job is to get rid of the smell of "DOG" I think the previous owner must have had a big smelly Mutt in the back.
Well that's what I think the smell is.

Gary

Hi J99pre
The wrangler just didn't do what it said on the tin.
I bought it with just under 5kmiles on it which is almost new. It didn't do the Mpg claimed 2.8 diesel stop/start 6 speed.
I had a hard top and a soft top , the hard top with removable panels leaked even after the dealer supposedly repaired it.
The water was setting off the alarm.It Just wound me up that I could find a puddle of water under my floormat.
So I took it to we buy any car they offered me about £750 below the private guide price.
I couldn't believe that its 2014 and a company cannot get something so basic as keeping water out. with only 4mnths warranty left what else was going to annoy me.

So good by crappy wrangler.

hello Jimny

just thought of a few more things I hated.

Go to hit the hazard warning lights and its behind the gear lever

The warning buzzers for everything "door ajar" bing bing bing, I know the doors a jar I bloody opened it.

" key in the ignition " bing bing bing . I know the keys in the ignition I put it there you stupid jeep.

The clock didn't keep time , it used to loose 2 minutes a clock how long have they been around.

remember this is at 5k miles. 12k when I sold it.

Do I miss it Oh definetly not

Maybe all these wet dogs being carried is why the boot floor rots so bad.
