Re: New member with dash watch issue

Hi Chris
Hopefully it will turn out to be an easily fixed wiring fault or faulty plug - should be easy enough to check for voltage supply and earths etc.

Re: Our Vitara in Moray

It's definitely getting a good run about your Gv maxaret 👍 Yes indeedy - we spent some money during late spring getting the chassis/undersides cleaned and protected to keep her on the road for a few more years (+ I changed the cambelt/water pump etc). She has still only done just over 45,000 miles ...

Re: Our 2005 Vitara

Just to catch up a little on our Suzi's year,just after the last MOT in the spring I replaced the rear springs and shocks after an MOT 'Advisory' from a friendly MOT'r 8-) .

Re: New Member, new Grand Vitara

I hope all that goes ok.
Our 1600 Auto could sure do with more power LOL but I am now too old to take on engine conversions etc (too many aches and pains ).

Re: E10 Fuel in Suzuki Samurai SJ413

I have been still mostly using Tesco 99 E5 although I did do one fillup with E10 because that filling station did not have any 'super' petrol LOL.
