Tired Looking Dashboard.
Does anyone have any tips for renovating a tired looking dashboard, I have given it a good clean with soapy water and also tried white spirit but it has not made any difference, perhaps some leather rejuvinator would do it or even black boot polish. I am hoping someone has done this and would like t...

Re: Rev Counter probs
I would be interested in your retro fit rev counter providing it still looks standard, and how you adapt it for the SJ. I want to keep my Samurai standard but with quality improvements, as I think it will serve me better in the long term as I am only using it on the road not as a mud plugger. I am c...

Re: Rev Counter probs
My rev counter also is failing it is stuck at 2000 revs but when I rev hard it does go up a bit but not correctly, where is the coil you mention and what does it do?
My speedo is also shaky but sort of works.

I also have an oil leak which is all down the offside of the engine, it looks like the rocker cover is leaking so have ordered a new gasket. On inspection the existing gasket seems to have been supplimented with silicon sealer so must always have leaked. A Suzuki specialist I spoke to says there is ...

New Member with new Samurai.
Hello to all, I have just bought a Suzuki SJ 413 Samurai in fair condition but it needs a lot of TLC to tidy it up to a good standard. I had a SJ 410 for 5 years and loved it and regretted swapping it for a Vitara, so am hoping to recapture the halceon days of open top motoring around the English Ri...
