I don't know if this is any help to any Sammy owners but as an Suzuki Samurai SJ413 owner the news about E10 fuel made me think, and despite a quick search couldn't find out from the Gov.uk site if my car was compatible as it said "consult the owners vehicle manual". Luckily I have an orig...

Hi folks, I need help finding the right timing belt please. It's a spanish built samurai SJ413 I've spoken to local Suzuki dealer and he says part is on back order/will never arrive.

Probably a stupid question but is there a simple way to know if my Suzuki Samurai 1300 is a 8v or 16v?

Cheers
