new member, new (to me!) Jimny

Hello and welcome.

With that number of people wanting to drive it, you will need a good booking calendar as well.

I bought a Jimny last October having had a string of BMW company cars (3 years each, but no longer the case) and to compliment my Porsche Boxster. After having the Jimny about a month both of my neighbours said how good it looked and one of them said both their children wanted it. They have never said that about any of my company vehicles or Boxster.

Anyway your Jimny looks great and sounds like it has already been a big hit with the family so a brilliant purchase, enjoy.

Hi Lard (epic username!) a BigJimny welcome to the forums!

My neighbour is a midwife and has a Jimny for winter use too.

I'd like to second Sniper's comments about tyres, and add that the winter compounds or even all-season compounds can and will also make a big difference too.
I'm currently using all-season tyres and have never looked back

Thanks all for the warm welcome and advice!

Appreciate the information and will update as I progress!

An update on progress for the Jimny over the last few months!

I went for AT tyres in the end, Yokohama Geolanders and pleased with them so far - also started replacing the rear springs as very sagged on drivers side, only to discover that the suspension cup had rusted off the chassis - some cash and a fantastic mobile welder later and new suspension cups, new springs and new shocks on the rear have improved handling no end!

Also changed both belts on the engine, plugs changed and next on the list is coolant flush, new oil and filters - I've also been spending far too much time cleaning it... found out today it's metallic black!

I attempted to clean the engine bay yesterday as it was filthy, now looking better and didn't realise the inside of the bay was grey!
