Couple of tweeks today
new rear number plate the number makes me laugh a bit,bet people were calling me a kox when going sideways past then in the snow :laugh:
When i got it i noticed that the rear wiper stopped when at the full sweep,i put this down to a siezed motor and ordered a new one,but the other day i noticed something about the spare wheel it didnt look like it was sitting right,after closer inspection the tailgate has taken a knock and its bent in over a bit.thus causing the wiper arm to get stuck against the tyre.need to have a think on this one
Also the top tailgate hinge had dropped so i removed this today
Ive had a right fight with it today,took it over to the garage i work at (when its busy,im self employed and not there much at the moment always the same in january,hence how i have a bit of time to do odds and sods on the jimny during the day) rather than replace it i was confident i could bodge sorry repair it lol,had to tap out the old snapped pin with lots of shouting,a couple of drifts and heat,got there in the end i just need to tidy it up fit my makeshift pin and put a layer of paint on it then i will refit this tomorrow.
