Oh what to do!

Everyone seems to be fitting Vitara 1.6 engines into the 413, but I have some questions; 1, Is it really worth it? Local scrappy has one for £85, so although cheap, Id not like to do it for no real gains 2, does it improve fuel economy? I currently only get 120 odd miles from a full tank 3, if not t...

softy softy catchy munki

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows if there is such a thing as a soft-top to fit a LWB 413? I have made a steel mesh dog guard which pretty much blocks off the back, so I can take the hard-top off the back, and use her like a pickup, guess I could get a bikini top for the front, but it would be ...

Re: From the far side

A bit smoky, burnt about 2 litres of oil since I bought her! I'm thinking of an engine change later this year, if not that then a strip down and rebuild, new rings maybe?!! It'll be nice to have a dry day to lay underneath, I had to change brake pipes in the snow last week! Once the sun comes up aga...

From the far side

Hi all, just wanted to say Hello from snowy Lincolnshire. Got my first suzie in December, using her for going to work in the bad weather, and driving round fields and stuff on my days off. I have a 1992 lwb 413, rattles and bounces, lots of trim missing inside, so glove compartment falls open at eve...
