NOPE! i now will be using it to get to and back from college! its really funny the look you get on peoples faces as you get the exhaust souding then the rumble from the tyres sounds like a Lancaster bomber

General tasks i'm still a Toyota person. Or my current choice borrowing one of several things off my Dad depending on what i need to move.
You think you get funny looks Tom? You wanna see the looks i get now my SJ has the very loud pedal. You'd be impessed!
Can't wait for the next SCUK (and Tom) meet!

"I have no friends cos' i drive a landy" or "i always follow a Suzuki for when i get stuck"

well well well first couple of days using it and im happy with it. however...... i need to sort the left front caliper out as under heavy breaking it pulls to the left a tad so i will take it off and grease the sliders up etc and im going to do it to all of them and give it some fresh new brake fluid
Thats all boys

That's probably nothing to do with the brakes, just an early warning the diff is about to let go

I was only joking! Obviously not a very good one.
Yep I'd go for a brake rebuild.

yeah I know but would a dodgy diff make a vehicle pull to oneside? I know dodgy cv's do like really bad. Yeah will rebuild the brakes I think.
