hi Darrell,
i have been hunting around for information on my motor for over a year now.

i still cannot find out how much variation there is between various F8Q motors.

i realize they are more alike than different, but it is a bit sketch to order parts without knowing for sure they will fit.

i will attempt to locate the mounts and see what i can find out.

i am new to mechanics, especially 4WD, so i am going in blind.

i found some basic info on the web, if you guys know of any links to SJ stuff in particular, that would be helpful.

thanks.

I have replaced the same parts that you’re looking for, some were from Renault Clio 2 and some from Renault Kanguu 1.9. They are cheaper and easy to come by. Take a very good look at the engine's head, one the side that has the longer hole, see if the wall is wide enough, if it is not you will have...

cool, thanks for the info....that helps allot.

actually , there is a SJ419D listed online.

but i cannot find much reference to it. very frustrating!!

my pickup has the removable roof, it is a 2004, originally white. i will try to add a photo to my profile.
thanks.

it seems the important info is that it is the Diesel Pick up, as these are the only models that use my engine.

although, if i need to get parts for the tranny then i should find out if there are variants withing the SJ series.

any thoughts?

sounds good to me.

do you know what number SJ i have? it would help when searching for parts online.

whenever i try to engine brake, the lever that switches between 2WD and 4WD pops into Neutral position.

any guesses? otherwise the anus works great in both 2WD and 4WD modes.

just curious what it means on my title.

perhaps there is another spot to post this question, please redirect me.

i have the Santana Samurai SJ .... but what is L04T???

is that the 413 or 410 or ????

they told me to contact Suzuki dealership. i can get parts from Suzuki, but at a very high price. i am hoping to find some aftermarket manufacturers, but that might not be possible.

I'll be honest, most of the people on this forum are from the UK, and in the UK we never had the diesel engine option, we went from the leaf sprung, single point injected petrol samurai (to 1996) to the jimny (1996 onward) & we were never offered a diesel. I can only imagine your best bet is fi...
