Alas, a new Jimny would solve none of my problems, otherwise I'd keep my Jimny.

Sounds good to me Mark. Do you mean cars that you could work on that had real carburetors, a simple distributor, do a head change without having to acquire a Masters degree in advanced electronics, etc.

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

I had a Fiat Uno the 1000cc FIRE engine, it was a great little car, never did less than 45mpg, no rust when I sold it.
The window winder was broken, and the window would drop down, so I made a nice piece of wood with a notch in, moved the handle so it was horizontal with the window up, and used the wood as a lock.
No sychro in second (It had done the best part of 100,000 miles round town) Oil light glowed at tickover.
The girl I bought it off had never had it serviced, when I got it the oil in the sump was like treacle, and the boot was full of trim parts that had fallen off :S
I loved that little car
My brother has had a succession of Fiats, apart from a Mk1 Panda they have been nothing but trouble mainly dodgy electrics, a 5 cylinder 2 litre thing that the engine fell out of and stopped the car because the whole of one side is supported by a big metalastc block in tension, and the metal part broke.
