Re: Grand Vitara not starting

A whirring like the starter is spinning but not engaging with the flywheel?

Sounds like the bendix on the starter has packed up. It’s probably time for a new starter motor.

Re: 1991 Santana Samurai

I am examining power steering in great detail now. Have collected some parts together. Fixing bracket to engine block is not correct. 20240324_092709.jpg 20240324_092815.jpg Sorry seems like I might have misled you on the Jimny G13 bracket. I have previously been told they fit but it looks like the...

Re: Bracket fitting to Engine block

It should be M10x1.25 Unless someone has messed the threads up.

The threads might just need chasing with a Tap.

Re: Bolt Supplier

They probably just don’t want any liability risk of someone buying a bolt that is the wrong grade for the application, for all they know you could be buying a bolt for a suspension component. I have a massive selection of good used bolts. There’s not really any “one time use” bolts on Suzuki SJs unl...

Re: jimny horn relay location

I’ve never known an SJ to have a horn relay, no sj wiring diagrams show one either. That wasn’t standard so a previous owner must have added it for some strange reason.

Re: Coil replacement.

Yes that’s correct.

Only F series engines with a points and condenser distributor have a ballast resistor.

Re: Suzuki Swift Sport ZC32S odd clutch issue

Sounds like maybe your clutch release bearing or something else in the clutch pressure plate has potentially failed.

I would probably advise not driving it until the garage can pull the gearbox off to investigate.

Re: Transfer box handbrake info.

Standard transfer box system is fine, just needs adjusting occasionally. X-eng has better holding power “when” it works, I found it needs more setting up and adjusting than a stock brake. It needs many mods to make it work reliably and not eat pads. It also rattles and has long handbrake lever trave...
