Hi it's a 2015, and can be seen on our website mysuzuki dot co dot uk - we're not 100% sure on the final cost until the IVA, we may put a set of tyres on, but it has an approximation there.

We've driven them for years, they aren't motorway vehicles. Or high speed vehicles. It's horses for courses.

That's where the safety factor comes in. They're so slow, you won't impact anything hard enough to kill you.🤣

@@RetroDaddyPH but you’ll need a tin opener to get out of the vehicle if anything hits you. Frighteningly unsafe.

Can't you drive a motorcycle on the highway where you live? Stop discriminating.

I have 2 660cc Kei Van's both have turbos and are both are for sale on Ebay they do cruise all day long at 70 mph obviously you ain't going to drive from London to Scotland but I can tell you know they get off the line quicker than you think the other non Turbo I have is slower but all 3 vans are reliable as clockwork .

never seen one IRL in deck form, i wish they were everywhere

@@juki6377 here in Australia we call them *Utes* ☺

@@wikdstixofcheese you'd call something with a tray this small a ute?, a mighty boy yeah why not, this? not really. Still i havent seen any zooming around vic

@@juki6377 haha i would put into the same size class as a mighty boy 😂 at the end of the day , it is what we call a ute here is it not ? a tub or tray in the rear 🤷? i mean its not a *REAL* ute by any stretch , not a commodore or falcon ute or what not , but cool regardless. And no , not heading off to bunnings to load it up with 2400x1200 sheets for a weekend project 🤣. ive seen a few kicking about , more so the 2 door ones , but a couple of *"deck"* ones.

@@wikdstixofcheese oh yes dont get me wrong, these look great. I see a few hijets but never this form factor (i hang around bunnings enough)

What a great and true to life tale!! They aren't the most modern, if they're not looked after thoroughly they'll rot before your eyes, but despite their flaws, they are just brimming with so much character most owners are happy to overlook their negatives!!.

Go for it!

not sure? I just checked out your channel because I like beef???

They drive like them too - they're a lot of fun!!!

Hi - it's very difficult, if not impossible to add keyless start to the car. Much easier to but one with it already an option.

@@rsbharley4766 one thing I forgot to add as i had already done it, drain some coolant first. Only enough to drop the level below the throttle body, or coolant will leak out of the hoses when you remove them.

We buy them in Japan and import them to the UK.

Sorry for the late reply - we've been away. I should have mentioned this. As the Idle Control Valve works from the temp of the coolant, it has a feed in and out. However because its so high in the system, it only needs a small amount to be drained so it falls below the height of the throttle body - if that makes sense?

Thanks for the sub

They are incredibly tough, and go anywhere with the right modifications.

@@bigjimny thanks for organising it, we'll definitely be at the next one, Heidi wants to try driving up and down a slope next time!!

Cheers - Not sure it was the best idea to go though, Heidi now wants a full on off-roader like yours AND a new one!!!

@@mysuzuki8534 haha great stuff keep up the good work

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome!

Yes it does, I found brushing it with a stiff bristled brush helped soften it.

we use an EGR & Carb cleaner spray, the one we have at the moment is from Holts and is around £7 from amazon.

Did you fix it?

Thanks 👍

Glad it was helpful!

Do you still have the money you saved? We have a good choice right now 🚙

Yes the odometer will always be in KM, which is better for continuity as there is a paper trail from Japan, through registration and first MOT (as long as the tester ticks the box for KM when creating a record)

Sort of, they could sell it, because the emissions weren't out of the ordinary, but across the range Suzuki wasn't meeting the EU directive, and had to add a surcharge. It's only my opinion, but they are so overstretched with keeping up with the rest of the world, it makes sense to pull out of the EU. Which I suspect is the reason the Light Commercial has now been pulled - so they can concentrate on the rest of the world.

Yes, it does make the Jimny ride better, the lift provides both more comfort, and gives the car less wallow in the corners.

How did the bumper exchange go? was it an aftermarket one?

I have now offroad metal bumper, but thanks to your video disassembly was fast and smooth. Assembly was a problem, little bit...because that bumper did not fit well...

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 😊

While it is possible to change the cluster to UK spec, we haven't been able top source anyone able to do it. The majority of experts in this field are Russians, and they aren't prepared to do it. We have contacted more than one, and they won't invest the time or equipment. The mirrors open when you start the engine, but I'll have to get back to you about them closing. From memory they don't, although they do on the ignis.

It is also a top spec model, the dutch variant is called style

It's too early to tell, but I wouldn't imagine so, unless they have a design flaw.

It's a supply and demand thing - they're popular, pretty unique in the small 4x4 market, and hard to get hold of worldwide.

We're waiting for His Highness to get in touch - I'd love to see him in a Jimny!

All cars imported to the UK have to go through the IVA process, apart from the fact the Jimny Commercial is the only Jimny available to buy in the UK, this is the four seat version.

Depends on where you live and if they salt the roads. Not gonna happen like this in Australia, South Africa etc.

It can be an issue anywhere in the world if you live near the sea, as the seas breeze can put salt on your car. But no - it's mainly just the UK who have a ridiculously low minimum tyre tread depth (1.6mm) so the local councils salt the roads to ensure the safety of motorists driving around with virtually bald tyres, for the sake of a handful of days a year. Which systematically destroys cars, especially 4x4's with ladder frame chassis.
