Late reply I know, but I want both the Jeep and the Trailer, working on them still, will see how I do!

Citroen AX too, to change the headlight you simply grab and pull.

Depends, how much he wants for it, and where it is...

P.S. Sorry for unintentional thread hijack.

If looks count, I'd go for the SJ - much more character!

They're also lighter (830KG kerb weight VS 1000KG) which wont make them any quicker (less power), but feel a little bit more nimble when you ...

Thanks Subzero.

If I'm honest it doesn't look as scary as people maintain. I'll have a good look round it next weekend, maybe take the pump off and apart.

I think the 2% other was a Jimny - does that count as an SJ though? Isn't it the same, (or an evolution of) the SJ ladder chassis?

I hadn't considered that, but the extra £65 isn't too much, my mini is only £120 a year, and the Hornet is historic and free, so not too worried.
