  1. A bit late to the party but here goes, 2003 Jimny on mud terrains, goes anywhere and everywhere (can be a curse though, other vehicles cant get to you) gets 2 red hinds, rifle and dog in it. Does 70-75 tops, not great for motorway work lol. I used it as my daily and I was getting around 40mpg. Great little trucks. Put a front locker in them and they are literally, unstoppable. They will climb anything you point them to. I am honestly yet to get stuck! Much much better than my navara with mud tyres on it. It's not even a contest
  2. Up for reluctant sale is my jimny, only being let go as it's now too small for my needs (dogs, deer, future kids) I would have kept it if I didn't have as many dogs as I do lol. Good points, 90400 miles Strong little engine, 1300 twin cam petrol All oils/filters have been done within the last 6k miles, all axle oils, gearbox and so on. Tyres are in good nick, probably 16mm of tread all around (kobra malatesta trac 2's, new mid last year) It was lifted however the lift blocks have gone, springs and dampers still there to try and make it ride a bit nicer, it drives much better with a deer in the back. Both belts have recently been changed. Around 10-11 months mot on it. Now for the bad points, No service history, it's been within the family for the last 10 years or so and has done minimal miles in that time, having a FULL serviced religiously every year, everything that its wanted has been done with the exception to the below. Blower motor has started making a slight noise, I will try and clean it out before it goes Some rust, it's an old jap car, they all rust! Nothing major, had a plate a couple of years ago and been ok since. The spare wheel is buckled, that's why it's now a spare The aeriel has snapped, not bothered me as i plug my phone in The bodywork is the worst bit, there are a couple of scratches and scuffs on it, nothing major. The fact its faded red is the problem! Again, I will try and get the machine polisher on it because it comes up a treat when it's been done The rear boot ram sometimes doesnt hold, not really bothered me. There is the famous wheel wobble at 45mph, before and after that it has gone, exacerbated by the tyres on it Now, it is an old car, had been used for it's intended use and HAS had deer and dogs in it, it is relatively clean inside considering, I will say dont expect a new car! All in all, a very reluctant sale and I will legitimately be sad to see it go, it has gone everywhere I want it to, be it off road or on road (if you know anything about the jimny, they are an incredible vehicle off road and will go most places including where the big toys go and beyond) Prices, having had a look around on the various sales sites I feel I have priced it accordingly at £1300 ONO. If I had the means and money to keep 3 cars in the family I would, without doubt. There may be a tear when it goes! It has been 100% reliable, it hasn't ever let me down and getting in to some of the places it goes means It had been serviced and looked after to save and issues whilst off the beaten track. Any questions just ask. I have listed pretty much anything WRONG i can, obviously if I think of anything else I will happily state it. If any pictures are needed send me a pm and I will get them sent over ASAP. Thanks, Ben
  3. Stay away from the navs, they ain't great and have many engine problems! I used to repair a lot of them lol (2007 or so onwards to around 2016)
  4. What is the range finder? Thanks
  5. Not sure where I got them from but i have some ammo for a garden gun that you might want to look in to, using no3's...
  6. Got some gen 3 trigger sticks, the tripod ones?
  7. Bit late on this but just a heads up, if you get in to green laning (bit different to p2p) then technically it's still a road, it's a BOAT. so you will still be insured irrespective if they dont say you are as it's a legal byway. Figured it might be of some help lol
  8. I use a t67, eye shine well over 400 yards and a clear picture at over 350. 3 mode, adjustable lens (flood to spot) and cost maybe 35 quid. Uses 2 18650 batteries
  9. Get a hydraulic bottle Jack, a heavy car and the wheel, put the wheel under the car and the jack on the bead (as close as you can) jack the car up then bounce on the tow bar. If it doesnt come off that way, it wont come off lol
  10. Where abouts in Cheshire mate? Dont suppose your buddy is John?
  11. 22wmr for me, had both and still got the hmr, what a bad choice that was. Used it succesfully for a few years but had ammo problems. The 22wmr using 25g ntx ammo from hornady is similar to the hmr ballistics wise, cheaper and without the inconsistencies. As for the hmr being **** in wind, if your pushing distances past 100 then it will be, up to that point and shoot unless it's real windy
  12. Think I follow you on Instagram mate, il forget to put pics on here lol
  13. 2 pages before abuse started 😂😂 seems a bit over the top considering it's an open forum...
  14. She's coming on well, not out with her as much as I'd like as it's stalking season, have a dog for that! She will retrieve, she's well underway with hand signals, she will pick rooks and jackdaws, pheasants and rabbit. She will flush them from cover aswell. She's mad as a box of frogs but she's a lovely little dog. She got a ####ing last weekend though trying to go for a winged crow, it wasn't happy and she wanted it. The ears turned off until i grabbed her collar, moved her and put another shot at it to finish it. She also doesn't like sitting still for too long lol
  15. Replace the pair, 1050 quid for a clean jimny is a steal. Lambda sensors are easy to change, might aswell do it yourself and bump the price up
  16. I bought a cz 452 American off here a couple of years ago, been a great rifle. Only gripe with the hmr is I can reload the 223 cheaper! Take a look at the 22wmr, as effective as the hmr with ballistics and range, cheaper to run. Wish I never sold my wmr, again, a 452 American
  17. Sounds familiar, that will be on record so the fact that she had a bleed, wasn't very well after with light gums should have been all they needed mate. You know when you heart/lung shoot a deer, they stand and wobble over, that's what mine did that's what gave it away for me. I hope you take this further and make sure you get a copy of the report before it goes missing or the computer wipes it... good luck and I hope your self and your family is ok
  18. You can request from the vets the report of the surgery, might be worth going through that to see what's been said. That's how we found out our girl had an internal bleed and it 'held up the rest of the surgery' that was a proper botch job what he did... I do know where your coming from in regards to sueing, I didn't because of one person's bad job however the rest of the vets sorted it ASAP as in she was having emergency surgery within an hour and a half or so (had to drive half hour to a specialist) and they paid out for everything including going in every day for blood tests and counts. It's definite negligence what they have done to you and unfortunately your girl. They shouldn't have operated in the first place, after that they should have checked your concern about gums and sorted it there and then. Personally, again, not my way but I'd be ******* them over for it and if the same situation arose with myself I wouldn't be playing nicely about it! And my Mrs says the same thing, they might think twice next time. Sorry again
  19. Late on this, sorry for your loss. I had something similar last September, spayed at 2, groggy after but the day after not good. She lost a couple of litres of blood before collapsing as the vet made a comment on the notes, internal bleeding but left her be. Sue them for all there worth
  20. I've done crows to 60 using steel and had clean kills. Anything up to that is the same
  21. Depending on what nankang they were you could be surprised. I used to use nankangs and they do a couple of patterns and compounds that would out perform any top end tyre, just got to know your tyres to the OP, landsails for me, best budget tyre going. Handle extremely well in all conditions, wear evenly and are cheap. In the colder months the mud and a snow tyres are great aswell. I've had the usual, toyo, Bridgestone, pirelli and the landsails seem to stand up the best
  22. Try a product called plusgas, it's a penetrating fluid that works amazing. That will get everything freed off and with the help of a brush should be relatively clean
  23. If me and my Mrs packed our jobs in and claimed dole we would have more between us along with the extra time... start spawning kids and we would be rolling in it! Not for me though
