:)Hi, I'm Jaco Groenewald, I just bought myself a Lada Niva Sidekick, 1.7 carb model, not running. Apparently, it only jumps out of gear. Suspect it was standing for quite some time. Would love to join this forum in order to get the most out of this vehicle and to take part in some serious fun! I would also like to contribute to the forum if I can in any way. I've been working for a Land Rover dealership for 14 years and believe that I am rather technical. That said, obviously I am a 4x4 enthusiast! Currently, I own a 2003 Discovery II Td5, 1997 Pajero 3.0 V6, and this Lada! Would love to compare the 3 off-road!

Hi Jaco
Welcome to the forum, and congrats on buying your Lada !
Well, you have just bought "old school technology" - so being technical, you are definately not going to have any problems regarding working on your Lada!
Please feel free to ask any questions, or sharing your Lada experience with us. There are quite a few members who are very willing to share their knowledge on the forum- and should we not be able to help, we might be able to refer you to other sources of information !
Please let us know how the Lada compare with the other 4 x 4's !
Regards
Danie
