Very friendly service and nice people to deal with, lots of pictures provided as well.

Thanks Soeley. I'm proposing to have my Jimny 'Dinitrol-ed' - primarily because there is a well-rated place near me (and I'd make a right-old mess doing it myself!). Can you let us know in due course how long the Dinitrol smell persists?

It smelled a bit yesterday on the first run when the exhaust got hot. But today I didn't notice any smell, not even when I went in the garage this morning. Pity as I liked the smell of it :silly:

Thanks Soeley - that's really helpful.

It's probably a good thing that the smell's gone away - we don't want you going down the road of solvent abuse!!

If parked on a slope the strut is not strong enough to hold the door open. Automatic rear door stay made from 25mm plastic pipe, cut at one end to clip onto the ball mount the gas strut is fastened to.

I had seen ones you can buy but they are to put on and remove as required. This stays on even with the door closed. (Sorry for poor video).

It is not cheap, £650 +VAT, but having said that I hope it is a worthwhile investment. If I keep the car 10 years which I do intend on this being a keeper it works out at just under £80 a year. Plus it will hopefully fend of any rust repairs for a long time.
