I'm using up my generous 26 day annual leave - an advantage of not being in the colonies - by takling Mondays and Mondays-Tuesdays off for the next few weeks until Crimbo.

EDIT - our new American owners refuse to let me carry them, so...

Spent an extended weekend playing with a Suzuki Jimny- great fun and decent mpg for a 4x4

Wrote up the trip on me blog too

Good review - the Jimny is superb for what it is, makes a LR Defender look really sad.

The 1.3 VVT (85hp) is much better on MPG apparently, and the posher ones with full dealer history hold their value really well.

Honest John (yeah I know ) has a set of plugs for the 1.3 at £76 and not a full service kit - although they don't say if this is the VVT or the original 1.3.

If and when I pursuade Mrs A we need to move out of expensive Embra to somewhere more rustic, my everyday motor will be another Aygo or a Jimny - or maybe one of each selected day by day depending on "conditions".

Shame they no longer do the LWB "Commercial" models like they did with the SJ.

Thanks for the feedback

Plug prices came off carparts4less based on reg plate-I think this one had the earlier simpler lump

It certainly seems capable as a daily if you need 4x4 but dont seek rangerover levels of comfort.
