i went today. some really nice kit on display there. dadba, i did come and have a look at your car, youve got some nice kit on yours. i was going to say hello, but it was quite late in the day and you looked tired. and yes that vitara next to yours with the toyota live axle conversion was really...

i shall be there hopefully. dadbe, ive seen your patrol on difflock i think, looks a nice truck. ill have a look at it if its on display

depends how wide you want to go Japanese 4x4 Spares sell some that are approx 5" wide for £49 (incl VAT and shipping), link (mid way down). im going to get a set some time in the next few months. Formula 4 also sell them, but they dont say how wide they are

i did like the idea of fitting them, but from what im heard, mavs/terranos like eating wheel bearings. wheel spacers put extra stress on your wheel bearings and other suspension components, but then i suppose it depends of what width you want to go for. i was looking at a set of 10mm spacers, link

for those who have suggested changing the oil, i did think about that, but its not that it wont go in gear: when the car is static the gears go in fine. its when im moving that it grates/grinds a lot. feels like the snycros have gone. like i said fifth was fine until christmas, and then that...

hello, i wondered whether anybody could give me some help regarding my gearbox back in december i took my car offroading, and to cut a long story short i misjudged some water and sunk the front end of my (98 ford) maverick. since then i have be having what i think are gearbox issues: my gear...

i needed a new air filter while on holiday (long story), went to halfords because that was the closest place: didnt stock it. when i went home, went to wilco motor factors: the shop was an 1/8 of the size and they had my air filter. some things they are good on, but if i want real advise on my...

my cb setup (sorry about quality, taken on my phone)

ive just mounted my cb on top of my dash in my mav. it was a pain in the @$$ to mount: because the dash is a soft on top and then has a hard plastic shell underneath, my mounting screws wouldnt 'bite' into the plastic. also, the windscreen is only a few inches from the top, there wasnt enough...

dont rule the starter out as a problem. ive only had my mav for a couple of weeks, and its always been a bit slow to turn over: lazy starter. then yesterday after work, i went to start it and nothing. my dad came out a bump started me, drove home and thought maybe it was the battery or...

live and learn? i never learn :lol: getting stuck is part of the fun :P

im off to Bures offroad site on the 2nd of December. anyone who hasnt been there, the site is right on the Suffolk Essex border, near a place called (yep you guessed it,) Bures. its massive, 57 acres of varied terrain: something for everyone. i went in september, but didnt get to see the whole...

yesterday i little roadtrip with my dad in my new mav. i drove over to leicester to see my mate and to buy some part worn cooper s/t's off him. the trip was a good experience to see what the car would be like for longer distances. on the whole it was a nice ride, apart from i find the seats...

i would do that, do i havent got any of the original brackets :( looks like ill be making some

i went to fit my pioneer the other day, and noticed the hole on my mav was too big, well i noticed it before when i took the old stereo out to find the cage was glued onto the dash. anyway, i thought that maybe a pervious owner had cut the hole bigger for another stereo, so went down the...

would this event just been a 'show' or did you have some offroading in mind? i know this is a long shot, but i was reading total offroad the other day, and they had a feature in there about a place near wrexham called motor safari. ive just been looking at the webiste. ithe site looks well...

totally agree. i love the driving position in the mav, its also the first car ive driven with power steering :lol: at the time there were a lot of accusations saying that the suzuki were dangerous because they would topple at speed, but at the time no one could prove it, then i heard of an...

actually my vit handles really well, small light(ish) car, plus due to the type of suspension lift on it, the springs are firmed so my body roll is reduced. the only reason i say its scary is of the tyres i have fitted. i was thinking that because the mav weights more, and is taller then the...

ive been driving my vitara the past few months with the front roll bar removed. it was the first mod i did to it and made a massive difference offroad. but as you can imagine the road handling has been hinded, well it use to handle rubbish to start with, now its just scary :lol: anyway, i was...
