Re: Tyres Pressure

I've been reading around the internet and 20 psi to 33 psi (2.2 bar) seem to be the pressures recommended.For normal road use does anyone have the definitive figure?

Re: Two holes in the middle of the bonnet

Just two clean hole there Dan,I though something had broken off but not a sign of any weld.I've found a US site that sells a window fold town kit and the picture shows the part as being separate but only lists the set complete.Looks like a trip to the hardware shop again for a different sized U bolt.

Two holes in the middle of the bonnet

I know there should be a windscreen fold down bracket there,but I can't find anywhere on the net what the part number is,I've tried a U bolt but the centres were out,does anyone know of any other type of bracket that would fit?

Interferece Engine?

I'm over in Spain and have just bought a standard SJ1.3 Samurai.The seller told me he'd changer the timing belt around 18 months ago and it has done little milage since.I'll probably get it changed anyway and get a new water pump fitted.But I thought I'd check around the internet to see if it is an ...
