Thanks very much... it's getting there, feels like the end is now in sight....

Just the cooling system to fix, a new clutch at some point, load the tools and spares... and we're ready to go 'laning in the summer

I love reading this!!

I cold really recommend a Proxxon Industrial 23650 as on board toolkit. Except for some special tools there is almost everything you need and they do not rattle.

Thanks! :woohoo: I enjoy writing it too...

I've ordered a few tool bags so they can be stored under the seats, space is short, and that keeps the weight low down too...

Hmmm, close?...

similar shape but the mounting tab is in the wrong place? It does match the schematic and is a genuine Suzuki part with the same par number too... hoping it will fit...?

I'm presuming I found a schematic for a G13B engine fitted in a different Suzuki vehicle???

A thermostat has also arrived today from Martin's BigJimny store

And some gearbox oil...

Just waiting for power steering fluid now then...
