Re: Over Cooling

Thanks guys, the thermostat is new so wasn't sure this was the problem as it will reach temp at standstill and stay halfway up the gauge which I figured meant the thermostat is good but it's just when you drive off as you say to 50mph temp drops

I've got another thermostat so will try it

Samurai 8v or 16v

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

Cheers

Re: Wheels and Tyre sizes help please

Guys, see attached pics of what's under the plastic caps front (new looking one) and back. What are these exactly and if they're not autos do I need to reverse every time I take it out of 4wd into 2wd or is that unnecessary?
