Hi all,
The instrument cluster in my 95 Vitara (g16a) has given up the ghost. I have picked up a replacement out of a 91 model that I was hoping to do a straight swap with but have noticed a few minor differences. The original panel has a 'check engine' light where as the earlier model doesn't and also some of the wiring on the back side of the unit appears to be a little different. Just wondering if any can tell me if this is anything to worry about?

Also, being new to the Suzuki family, I am wondering if there is a trick to getting the gear knob off? Does it just screw off or is there something that i am missing, either way I feel a bit stupid asking

Any way, any advice would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Gear lever knob unscrews off, 4wd lever has a small screw in the back of it.

Is your motor injected? You might be better off tracking down a cluster from a later model

Guess I'll have to hit the gym top get the knob off, nah should be all good, just didn't want to break anything.

No injectors on this model mate, old school carbi I've had the instruments plugged in and the motor running, everything to seems to run fine but I might keep my eye out for a later model as you say. Thanks for your advice.

The hunt begins again

The 'check engine' light is for injected engines, it's not needed for carby motors.

Ok, I might roll with it then and see how she goes - cheers.

On another note Scrawn, i am thinking of putting a small suspension lift under my rig. I have heard that you can achieve about 50mm of lift using springs and shocks from other makes and models. You are obviously a local on AZ, any chance you could point me in the right direction off a good thread to read on doing this?

Thanks for your help.
