Just hoping to pick the minds of some wiser than me - this morning the heater fan stopped blowing in the old girl - 1995 Vitara..... checked the fuse, but not that. Not real useful with the roar coming up and me wanting to disappear into the muddy bush Do they have some form of replaceable resistor ...

Just for anyone searching this thread in the future - Seal Imports were fantastic, got the seal overnight.

Cheers will check them!

Hoping someone with some wisdom of experience can help me out. I'm onto my second steering box on the old vitara - same issue - leaking pitman arm seal. I got keen on the old box, and finally got the pitman arm off, and pulled the seal out. Seems pretty specific.... anyone know where I can get this ...

Yup couple of the boys were in over the weekend.
Little (ankle deep) snow.

They reckoned the overhang from the weighted down trees made it a little heavy going.

Not sure on size - other than them being 15" and rather narrow - real pizza cutters.

I've found a tyre guy who also 4x4's so I'm sorted - hes even sourced me some rims for a box of beer. Can't wait to see how they go.
Ended up using tubes.

Thanks for the help people.

oh, thats interesting - might get them fitted up and see how they go without the tubes.
Cheers guys - appreciate it.

Hiya guys, I've acquired a set of 15" tractor tyres to wack onto some spare rims I have for the Vitara to get into some muddy bits in the farms. But the tyres say they are 'tube' type. I had a look on TM - but the sizes are crazy - I don't understand them. So a couple of questions please - how do I ...

any chance of telling us how u did it and which wires go where from factory plug to new switches?? would be much appreciated lol wana do the same to mine. I did not note down the exact colour to colour match.... I'm doing passenger side, coincidentally brought the gear today, so will make note and ...

Hmmmm got me thinking.
Wonder where you'd get them from in NZ...

Anyone got some piccys of a nice setup for snorkel on a carby Vit? Seen the likes of these online, but pretty pricy, and I need one for standard carb. http://www.man-a-fre.com/parts_accessories/snorkelweberplenumadapter.htm http://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/233411-snorkel-kit-weber-carb.html

Be interested in what the sand/mud matting/bridging material is on the rear of the truck.

After mucking around with the standard window switches, and having been quoted too much for second hand replacements, I've done a pinout and rebuilt my drivers door console. Jaycar has some pretty good replacements..... all up I've spent just under $30 and have a reliable setup. Simple panel with a ...

The light switches on these commonly pack up.
With replace with toggle switch or gingerly open it up for repair.

Hi there, I'm a long time lurker! I've had a 3dr vitara for a long time, it gets me where I want to go...... but with another child on the way I'm now a seat short. Has anyone done a conversion from the 5dr - and put the rear seats in the 3dr to get that extra seat? Secondly - mines carby - would be ...

Hi Apm, I couldn't guarantee it, but would bet a biscuit that it would use the same relay for "ON" and "Flash", so I would definitely suspect the switch first. Not sure if the switch cluster is a sealed unit, but either way you can get some contact cleaner in a can, spray it inside the switch on ...

Evening all, Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction, having bit of grief on the parents Vit/Escudo - highbeam does not work on headlights, but will work if you pull back to 'flash' highbeams. I've done a little reading and found it may be either a relay or the switch itself. Can't find ...

No drain hole on mine, might be an issue.....

Afternoon all...
Well after some dramatic recovery work on a mates truck that blew an axle in Odlin's Rd, my little warn engage switch has packed it in.

Can someone point me in the right direction of where to buy replacement parts.

cheers

Keen if its on the Saturday.

x2 trucks

Back through over the weekend.
Would not suggest taking any longwheel base vehicles down the other side.

Its getting a little tight in places.

Cops were at the top with the search and rescue, and a helicopter down by the hut.

All good fun!

Arvo all, we've recently aquired a lwb vitara.
Still road legal, other than warrant.

Only issue with it is that the auto will only select 1st & 2nd, and if you click overdrive button it hits neutral.


Any one with any ideas? Do you reckon its worth investigating, or part the vehicle out.

cheers

Arvo all, My beloved hunting rig started playing up over the weekend. When 4wd its badly crunching when going into reverse, almost like the previous gear has not disengaged properly...... but this does not happen when in 2wd.. Any ideas on what would be causing this? Hoping just clutch wear ...

Anyone put aftermarket seats into a Vitara?
Any tips?

I've acquired a real nice set of Corolla FXGT ones, thought would be a nice changeover...

Update @ 20 June Washout prior to top carpark now driveable, we got a hilux and safari through with marginal room to spare. On the descent to the hut there is a very tight corner that has washed out - apparently a hilux took a drop there a few mths back. Our suzi & swb safari went through ok, but it ...

After front bumper & grill for 89-94 Vitara/Escudo...

Odlins Road took its toll last weekend!
