I took my Jimmy to a good friend and great mechanic for a good check over as I haven't had it looked at since owning it.
Thankfully the Jimny is well, there was an oil leak from rear gearbox seal and so was replaced with a genuine seal I have noticed in the service history this has been done before. At the same time did the oils in the transfer box, gear box and font and rear axles. He also noticed there was travel in the brake pedal so he adjusted the drums.
I'm glad it's all okay now I can stop worrying and enjoy driving it. I can also treat it to May be a steering damper and tow bar.

I have fitted the rear mudflaps and just ordered a steering damper from bits4vits.

looking forward to hearing your comments on how the steering damper affects steering / feel on a standard truck, it's something I was hoping to do soon,jim wrote: I have fitted the rear mudflaps and just ordered a steering damper from bits4vits.

Cheers Halford, I'm hoping the damper will help tame the steering wheel bounce around over pot holes. I fitted a quick rack on my old peugeot and prefer the slightly heavier steering.
I'll take some nice pictures very soon.

Looks like you have found a nice one there! I like the colour!
I found a steering damper helps a bit with bump steer but that's all it's good for. It seems to make no difference to death wobble if you ever get it. Then again if you have death wobble something is awry and needs fixing properly. I hope you don't experience it though!
