Hi from The River Avon

Post by portaccio » Thu Nov 20, 2014 4:27 pm

Hi, looking forward to getting some useful, friendly advice. Just bought a 2002 Jimny Special and I'm having a lot of fun already. Not offroading just commuting and occasionally driving through a muddy field to get to my boat. It needs a little attention and I have NOOOO clue about cars but I'm up for doing as much as I can.

Cheers in advance.

Tom :mrT: :mrT:

:welcome: to :suzuki: club UK.

I'm not far from you so if you ever need a hand I have a full workshop full of tools and I'm cheaper than a full time garage :thumbup: advice is always free :rhino:

Presume you live on a narrow boat then?
