Just purchased my first Jimny

It's stopped now.

Am in North Wales

A couple of pics - wheel, new tyre and bolt through the hub to fix the hub. New shock and spring in the background.




Outside my pal's garage after doing the suspension.



Still got the clunk on the back left. Radius arm bushes need doing and I wonder if the axle mount holes are a little oval.

Have found the clunk - there is a little movement in the n/s/r rearmost bolt through the axle mount from the radius arm - spotted a bit of lighter coloured rust next to the head of the bolt.

Have nipped up the bolt a touch more for now which has helped a lot - I'll check the torque on it tomorrow. I'll likely weld a penny washer on there next week.

Since I now have fixed hubs I just did this mod to take the controller out of the loop.

Had a nice run out today. The new suspension was so much better. New tyres performed well even with 14 psi in them. Was going to go lower but thought I would try with that to start.

I am now certain the clicking at the front end when I am on bumpy and twisty stuff is the anti-roll bar / drop links or bushes. Rather than fix them up I was pondering it on the run home and decided to just remove them and fit some extended braided steel brake hoses on the front from llama.co.uk. That way Wee Jimmy will have better flex at the front.

I had a random engine check light on the dual carriageway no change in performance. I reset it by disconnecting the battery. it has not come back after 5 hours more driving. I'll see if anything was stored with a code reader tomorrow.

Extended stainless steel braided lines order from llama4x4 ordered.
