Mm any motor factors, don't get a recon kit, not worth it, also try

www.japanese4x4spares.co.uk/

www.demon-tweeks.co.uk

Russ at www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/jimny/cat_1.html

www.luk.co.uk/content.luk.co.uk/en/index.jsp and find a dealer near you, Ive usually fitted Luk to my own vehicles and never had an issue but its a personal thing, and each to there own.

Hope this helps

Hi , I'm new ere and just thinking of buying my first Jiimny . This is a great post to learn and read .
The Jiimny I'm looking at is a 54 plate in silver with 61000 , just had new tyres and clutch and it's a mechanic friend of mine who only wants 2g for it so looking round it seems a really good buy com pairing it to prices on eBay etc .
I've never had one before and it seems quite responsive but very grunty and a bit bouncy but I presume the bouncy ride is normal , we currently have a small Citroen so it's a totally different ride . I've got to decide this week whether to have it and also convince the misses as she will be using it during the week . It does look in great condition and also has the half leather trim so an added bonus .
Just wondering if this is a good price and would appreciate any guidance .
Thanks - newby Lighty

Hi Lighty

The Jimny you've seen sounds great- price sounds good Imo too. Is it a VVT model? Could be either on that plate.

The ride/drive is very different to a normal car but you'll soon get used to it and love it!

Any pics of the car you've seen?

Hi , thanks for the response , I'm unsure if it's the vvt model - engine number is M13A-1333033 and it's the JLX MODE MT registered 14/10/2004 , only had 2 previous owners also with nothing done to it -totally standard .
I presume it's not the VVT if 2004 but not sure at all . Any help /info would be much appreciated .
I will get some pics done of it tomorrow .
Thanks again
Lighty
