General Mea Culpa and has anyone got an inclinometer?

[Bigjawa]

I have sinned, I have sinned greatly!

After a sudden windfall of cash in the past 48 hours, I've went out and bought a Suzuki SJ410 jeep thing.:shakehead Frankly it was too cheap to turn down for the condition it's in and secondly, it's not unlike a Panda to drive, It's tall, rather narrow and not very quick, my 750 would whip it's arse frankly, but there were no 4x4 Panda's in the locale, but until one comes along in good nick (and the right money).

So comes my second query, has anyone got a apre inclinometer lying about, I know that a Panda one would not really be at home in a SJ, but I have to keep up with my mates and their Shoguns and Discos, also, as I've begun work on Lucie, I need some way of carrying bits about, there's no way you'll get 4 panda wheels on the back of a Bandit

Anyway, I beg for forgiveness, and if I am destined to spend the rest of my days in Panda Purgatory, then So be it

Theres a few to chose from....http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=Inclinometer.

"as I've begun work on Lucie, I need some way of carrying bits about, there's no way you'll get 4 panda wheels on the back of a Bandit"....Do you want to adapt the SJ to an estate sort of idea...remove the back seats? I can get 4 225/60/15 BMW wheels & tyres easilly in the back of the panda.

 

[Bigjawa]

The Panda ain't going anywhere, theres no MOT on it, and it needs a wee bit of work, 4 tyres etc.

I've pulled the back seats out of the SJ, more room for junk!

Thanks for the link!

You could have done a lot worse than a Suzuki jeep. I considered one myself not long ago as a replacement for my Brava. Sure look at Alan with his fat German barges, what right has he to post an angry face?

We aren't dyed in the wool one make fanatics! People can drive what they want!

Suzuki jeeps are OK, better than a fat beemer... OK you might look a bit gay in one but hey, who cares!!! (says he with Dance! written on his red panda!!)

 

[christopher watson]

be careful in the sj410, as i had one a while ago and the back likes to overtake the front when driving in the wet.

[Alan.D]

Give that man a cigar

 

[christopher watson]

how much for the air vent

 

[Bigjawa]

Aye, well, I'm rapidly going off the jeep, the tyres are FAR too big for it, they're actually off a Discovery or summat, so the damn thing bounces from wheel to wheel like it's got crabs, I swear it nearly turned over doing 45 mph when it bounced off undulations in the road, also the tyres raise the gearing too much so it won't pull beyond 45, which is a real 50odd, still not bad for 970cc and the aerodynamics of a breezeblock!

 

[Alan.D]

What are the tyre pressures? sounds like they are too high so there is no give in them, try reducing the pressure and have another go. Either that or the suspension is solid.

Already promised Chris sorry.

Sounds like a blast!
