I've recently sprayed the interior surfaces black (no carpets but rubber mats) and have filled all the cracks. I'm having a little trouble getting my speedo to the right setting, i have stock tyres on it but it still reads around 10% slower than the car is actually travelling.

I'm quite new to this so thanks for your time :) ]]> littlered http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-jimny-sierra-samurai-forum/40428-budget-sj50-mods-airfilter.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-jimny-sierra-samurai-forum/40413-i-need-shift-knob.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:57:59 GMT Have an '87 Samurai and the shift knob was missing when I got it.

I'm selling my Samurai (i'm relocating abroad). Should I let potential buyers test the 4wd on normal roads? If so, for how long, and how much damage could this cause to the 4wd system?

I'm concerned because somebody tested it on a normal road, for approx 5 minutes, and reported that it was making clanging noices, and was faulty... ]]> jez http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-jimny-sierra-samurai-forum/40407-testing-4wd-tarmac-damage.html http://www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-jimny-sierra-samurai-forum/40399-timing-belt-tension.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:43:13 GMT My daughters boyfriend has an 88 Sami with supposedly the 1.3.

The bearing went on the water pump.
Took the front end apart and did the conventional water pump, idler and belt senario.
Here's the kicker, our local parts supply store (Lordco) supplied the parts but the timing belt was wrong for this engine.
The belt they sold us had the square cut teeth and the one we needed or the one we took off had the rounded teeth. So we did the return swap and installed the new belt. Can't seem to get it tight on the idler side.
Anyone have any suggestions?
The new belt is just slightly shorter than the old one which is reasonable being new verses old.
The parts guy at Lordco said that the second belt was listed for the newer 1.6 eight valve.
All looks like it is okay but not sure about the loose belt??
Mismatched parts on the front of this engine?
It is a 1988 Samaria standard 4X4 five speed.
How does one tell the difference between a 1.3 and 1.6?
How about a picture of the front of the engine?
Thanks one and all for your help.

the readings were: HC ppm: reading 404, allowed 290. CO% reading 8.28, allowed 3.66. Fail on both.

the mechanic said he thinks there is too much un-bearned fuel, but wasn't sure. i have a free re-test within 30 days, and am willing to spend a little more time and money, but otherwise i'm done.

Hoping somebody can offer some advice on my headlights in my 91 sami. I can only get my lights to turn on when they are turned to highbeam. Is there an easy way to test the switch? All my fuses are good and the wiring, what i can see appears good. A replacement switch is a ton of money and I have to order it from the states and I don't know if that will solve it.

Second, my heater fan will work for about 30 seconds and then dies. Has anybody had this before? It turns back on after the zuk has been off for awhile. Again the fan is a crazy expensive replacement part. Would much rather buy some new headers instead but seeing as I'm in Canada, I really need to fix the fan.

Thanks so much guys

What I want to know basically is, is it difficult to find parts for these cars? I haven't really been able to find what models were made 4x4(this is important lol)...were they all made 4x4?

Besides the want for trail rig, I grew up in one of these so the nostalgia would be great haha. :)

Any info for this new guy is much appreciated!!

My Sami came with full time day time running lights.
It is a pain in the eyeballs to the fella in front of me on the trail.
How can I disable them at least when I want to.
Some vehicles have a disable when the e brake is pulled up one notch.
This would work for me.
Or completely disable and run without.
Is there a module that controls this feature ?
If so where is it located ?
Can I find the e brake component in a donor car ? Which one ?
Thanx
