Hi saxj - just noticed your comment. Can you tell me what "coils and shocks"? Does this relate to a lift (as I suspect it does), or is your Gen 4 (with the 'Rising Sun') still at standard height?
I am a fan of better engineered shocks in particular - but don't know how much benefit I might get for a standard height Jimny.
Odometer is spinning towards the 2000 mile mark so it has been booked into the dealership for its 'free' inspection/service. Was pleasantly surprised to learn the dealer would do it while I wait and enjoy a coffee - so no need to make arrangements for taking the bus to work. Delighted to report that there are zero defects to be attended to and no components have failed, rattled loose or fallen off. Hoping the dealer might even wash it and save me getting the hose out.
It's quite amazing just how badly your expectations of new vehicle ownership have been diminished by land rover! Ermintrude didn't have one single issue in her first 3 years that wasn't directly attributable to badly executed accident repairs. The Japanese know how to make cars properly.

Our family have bought several brand new Land Rover products over the years, we have walked the production line at Solihull and undertaken several Land Rover Off-Road Driving courses. They could have retained us as customers for life but failed miserably to deliver a reliable product that doesn't require major warranty claims and the constant worry as to which expensive component was going to fail next. The Suzuki Jimny is our first experience of purchasing a Japanese 4X4 and both the car and dealership experiences have been excellent to date - long may that continue.
