Yes I've tried a few different waxes, but nothing I'm crazy about. Got some Meguiars wax in the tin which is usually pretty good stuff, not the bottle, but it seems to fade quickly, will will have to try the FK1000P sealant. Cheers for the tip!

Cheers for that Tadpole, I guess half the battle for me offroading is picking the right line and knowing when to stop (or turn around). My friend had a modified SJ410 many years ago, and I remembered how well it did offroad, so that memory influenced my decision to go with a Jimny.

You're welcome mark98. In a way if I had two cars, it would probably be sitting in bits a lot more, but as I need it basically everyday, I have to really crank on it over the weekends when something needs doing, and make sure I can (hopefully) get it back on the road by Monday mornings!

Nice one. I'm jealous you have had the chance to do some estate driving. I live I Scotland and would love the opportunity to get out in the wilds, Scotland is such a beautiful place. Keep posting about your adventures
glad you lived to tell the tale though, the wee black jimny took a beating.

I like it here very much, there is a bit of a 'rain shadow' in the NE so not too bad weather-wise, I like the snow in the Cairngorms, and the long days in summer are great.

Love the red, looks like quite the machine. I also know what you mean about black ones being invisible just a pity it doesn't extend to speed cameras. If you do get back onto the estate and need assistance I am also a trained surveyor and I'm sure I could run to camping in the wilderness for a few months

Thanks, will do. Jobs like that don't come along often though. Speed cameras for me haven't been much of an issue with the big tyres, though there is a sneaky 20mph zone along the coast here (not a school zone) where the camera van was parked the other day, and I nearly got it... Figures!

Thanks for the great read! I'm impressed that you were able to stick weld in a new boot floor in, I replaced my floor as well but I used a Mig which was difficult enough.
