Galactic Jimny

Leads don't last forever, I've recently changed mine due to leakage. It can be quite hard to spot but you can get testers for them.

Neat and tidy job

Thanks Daniel30 I enjoy doing little jobs like that. Don't think il run out of things to do on a Jimny there's just always something.

I had a lead go before, turned out rats had been nesting in the engine bay! Luckily it was just the leads.

That could have been nasty, those little blighters chew through everything......

It's been a while since the jim had some love. So this weekend she has had a few new parts. Unfortunately as soon as you replace worn items you find even more.

New Brembo pads and discs went on, two new aux belts after spotting the old ones were cracking. Re greased the caliper sliders as they are known to seize.

Track rod ends one was slightly leaking grease but had no play so replaced them and the faint wobble at 50 has gone its true they may not seem worn but can be.

Replaced the propshaft with a known non leaking one I noticed since replacing the oil seal last time it hasn't used much oil. Hopefully now it won't leak any.

Fitted a small in car thermometer from China just what I've been after for a while. I like to know if it's below 5 degrees Celsius to drive even more cautiously in case of ice.

All in time for Cornwall
