By Jimny......he got it!

Post by Linley3251 » Thu Mar 19, 2015 10:24 pm

Hello
Just purchased a 54 plate Jimny soft-top.
It seems to be quite sound with very little rust, however, I'm hoping to rekindle my mechanical skills and do the maintenance on it myself. I was also hoping that someone can direct me to a suitable source of a workshop manual, either electronic or paper.
Thanks
Linley

Hi and welcome to the club! :)

You can find the jimny service manual here:
http://www.suzuki4x4.net/manual/jimny/9 ... 02_01E.pdf

It will take quite a while to load so wait for it and then save it to your phone/computer!

Thanks for the welcome everyone and particularly to Twiss for the link to the workshop manual....... just what I wanted.
Not to push my luck so soon, however, I didn't realise quite how petite the Jimny (particularly the boot space) is and I'm having to disassemble my mountain bike every time I take it in the car.
Does anyone know of a carry attachment that either bolts onto the spare wheel retaining nuts or slots over the spare wheel?
Diolch/Thanks

There are universal bike racks out there that attach to spare wheels.
