Welcome!

You do realise that a Jimny will do about the same to the gallon as your 110? (It will save a little as diesel is 40p a gallon more than petrol)
They cost more to insure, and there are no cheap parts like for a Landrover: I paid FORTY POUNDS for a propshaft spider that would have cost £4 for the Landrover :pinch: .
The ride is a lot more lively than a 110 and the 2wd will spin it round in the wet whereas the 110 will just go.


That said the jimny is easier to park than the 110, and a great deal warmer in the winter., and as long as you don't try and drive like John off Emmerdale makes a good little winter runabout. (Apart from the rust: the bodywork isn't very well designed as regards rust traps)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
