As for the salt you shouldn't really need it on a Jimny but for her benefit I bought a winter kit of tracks,folding shovel,salt scrapers etc. as she visits people off the main roads.

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

The Jimny has an old fashioned steering box not accurate rack and pinion as all cars have done for years.
Although there shouldn't be any wear they do allow a bit movement of the car on the road so if you get the chance on a windy but quiet road try relaxing a bit :)


I would second that. When I first got my J I was too tense and it made the wandering worse. I now let it get on with whatever it thinks best :-D:-D:-D
