To reduce the timing chain / lifter noise make sure you use the correct grade of oil and a genuine Suzuki oil filter......... My GV was noisy until I started using the factory filter. Nice and quiet now. Interesting to hear that. I might have to go visit the dealer and buy one.... I found Ryco are ...

Mine left about five years ago. Replaced with a Suzuki XL-7 and that has since become the wife's vehicle.

Just buy a new one and fit the extractors at the same time. My original sensor was "welded" into the manifold and left pieces of thread in place...... You can also buy a "plug and play" oxy sensor off the shelf. I posted the info on here ages ago- from memory it was listed as an Applause sensor?

Damkia has summed it up. Crimping is better where there is vibration. As an example aircraft wiring is crimped. You'll also notice all the factory loom plugs on vehicles are crimped. I crimp for external stuff (eg. engine bay) but will solder under the dash when the wire is part of a large loom and ...

You could use something like a turbo timer to do it.

Just wire it to keep power to the window circuit instead of wiring it to keep the engine running.

The ignition advance curve will be different for an Applause dissy, just keep an ear open for detonation. Or only strip out the ignitor or whatever you need.

They'll need to access in behind the rear RHS interior trim panel (where the stock rear speaker is mounted.)

You'll find more options in 6.5" compared to 6".

What's your budget- and are they being driven straight off a head unit or a separate amplifier?

I don't know if it would fit or not, but IMHO you'd want to swap the entire Rocky drive train into the Feroza body (ie. gearbox, transfer case, diffs etc.) Otherwise the torque from the diesel engine would quickly break things. You'd also have problems with the weight difference between the engines ...

Thanks for the info. I've added it to the sticky FAQ post.

Take the cell lids off, the terminals off and hook a jumper lead from pos to neg (short it out) and look down the openings (not too closely) and if one is bubbling, its that cell that has dropped out. Do this quickly dont let it burn the terminals off. And yes id say definately dropped a cell ...

Don't discount dirty connections or possibly a dead relay. You can perform a fuel pump test from the ECU diagnostic plug too - have a look in the workshop manual if you have it.

Nice. But you might want to see them in action before committing.

I'd imagine HID's would be a lot brighter (going by the Lumen ratings) - possibly even your current globes would be?

Try removing your spark plugs and checking the condition of them. If you're running green coolant you'll possibly find one is very clean with a slight green tinge to it.... If just water look for the "steam cleaned" plug- it will stand out.

There are LED's out there that are easily bright enough for headlights - I've got some Cree R2 flashlight modules that would easily shine far enough for a decent low beam (if you used say four in each headlight.) Oncoming motorists wouldn't like the glare, but lighting the required distance wouldn't ...

HID head lights all seem to use optics (ie, lenses) to focus the light beam (plus stuff like self leveling and high pressure headlight washers). If you simply fit an aftermarket kit into a reflector headlight you don't have any of these features. That ends up causing huge amounts of glare to ...

If you haven't received the letter then just give them a ring - I told a guy at work who has a Fez and they just told him to book it in.

Wow! That's just a few years too late.

Mine had that problem when I bought it in around 2002 (when it was ten years old). The only thing is it wasn't the check valve at fault in my case- it was the plastic reservoir tank it fed into that was cracked.

Use the search function!

(....and be prepared for a lot of reading )

I've seen a couple of different style battery boxes (from normal auto type outlets) and none are even close to being "water tight".

Are air/ water tight boxes available that could be vented to atmosphere?

So TheOtherLeft, you can fit what ever battery you want in the cab of a vehicle, just make sure you mount it in a battery box. What are the legalities of doing this? Also, if the vehicle should roll over there could be other implications if a "wet cell" is in the passenger area. Edit just found ...

Try looking on www.aerpro.com.au as well.

The gain in driveability is well worth the time/ money fitting them (forget about peak power gains!) I'd leave the remainder of the exhast stock too- unless you like revving it hard??? Mine was best for driveability set up like that, it lost low rev torque after I did the rear section in 2". PS: use ...

From memory January 2006 was when Australian vehicles had to comply with OBDII standards. My 2004 Suzuki is in the same boat and some unknown protocol that none of my OBDII scanners will read....

Just keep in mind that some of their stuff isn't the best quality.

I'd recommend buying a premade loom if you can. At least you know what you're up for and get some sort of warranty.

Carefully feel the cabling after an extended period of use- if it's not getting warm then it should be fine. For your fuse go for a 40 Amp- it should be fine given the 30 Amp was lasting for a couple of months.

Microwaves are adjustable. The rain doesn't set mine off and if you get a dual zone version then there's no need to set the 2nd zone (for instant alarm) to penetrate the windows. You do need to plan where to install the unit - ideally somewhere near the centre of the cabin. Very large metallic ...
