My First ZOOK!

Just to be clear, what this sequence does is put tpms into learning mode without the 20 minute wait AND puts it into the mode where it expects the wheels to be activated by a TPMS tool so avoiding the need to drive for 10 minutes. It's what a garage can do so they do not have to drive around and the owner gets the car back without any warning lights to wait to clear.

If the system is in learning mode and be the irongate is transmitting codes then the tpms will learn them and think they are wheels. It is not only aligned to the standard wheels, any nearby active compatible sensor will be learnt in this sequence

Slight change of topic - It was my birthday this week so I treated myself and the ZOOK to a GLASS introductory 4x4 course (held near Bristol Airport).

Got some great photo's of the ZOOK doing what It does best. I was the smallest vehicle there (mostly disco's and defenders) Including the YouTube 'Powerfulukltd' in his new 2020 white 110 defender. The new tyres coped surprisingly well in the mud considering they're an all terrain tread pattern.

The Jimny made it up the concrete steps which were proving a challenge for even the heavily modified big boys. I think weight and wheelbase played a big part there..

I'd welcome any tips for cleaning the ZOOK after a days pay and play - the old girl is still filthy after a lengthy power wash.

Needless to say the Jimny p**sed all over the new defender in the opinion of all three GLASS organisers. (The defender actually got stuck several times today) :whistle:

Happy birthday. It's a good week for a birthday. Looks like you have had a good day out.

I recommend a gentle but thorough hose down, using a soft brush to dislodge the dirt. Do not use a power wash (I know, too late) as this forms a grit blaster with the power of the water and the dirt on the car. Particularly avoid power washing the swivels at the front and the hubs/drums at the back as this will force dirty water into the bearings.

Get the end of the hose well up into the wheel arches and up underneath the front bumper. Also over the top of the chassis and fuel tank by reaching in through the wheel arches at the back. Do it as soon as you can to avoid it hardening on.

Thanks Martin,

Guilty as charged, I had already gotten the worse off with a power washer. I then left a garden sprinkler under the car for about half an hour which seemed to work.

I'll have another go tomorrow. Oh how I wish I had space for a 2 post lift :blink:

Update:

The corded version of the Iron Gate TPMS bypass unit has arrived today, so I'll be conducting tests this week. Hopefully it's successful as otherwise I'll be getting my tyres re-fitted with TPMS sensors :blink:

In addition, as previously mentioned I had a birthday last week, so obviously I got some obligatory jimny related gifts.... Both excellent additions to the Gen.4's interior if you ask me as storage space is minimal. Both available via Jimnystyle.
