Re: 1991 Santana Samurai

My experience of the electric hydraulic pumps when combined with the Jimny steering box is that it’s usually quite rubbish and the steering is still heavy, people used to use the PSA units. I would just fit a suzuki based, engine driven pump using a kit. It’s a simple and reliable set up that’s prov...

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...

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.
