Just a thought. There are some superb Grand Vitaras available in the Rs 5-6 lac range.
They are probably most ideal for the 'Wildlife Photographer' who wants a super quiet capable vehicle and which yet, is secure.

Apparently it is a problem with the petrol pump.

Folks where in Bangalore can I source a MG410 petrol pump? Any pointer to specific shops will be of great help.

Circled the part I am looking for in the attached image

You can approach any of these outlets in Bangalore. This is a list of MGP retail outlets & distributors* & will be able to source the fuel pump for the Gypsy (MG-410) for you.

Try "new one automobiles" journalist colony, the road parallel to jc road. There is a person by name Ramesh, who is very helpful.

Hello folks,

Firstly, thank you for approving my membership request and letting me be a part of this esteemed group of car enthusiasts.

I have owned a few cars in the past viz Bolero, Santro and a Gypsy. It's been a long time and I never bothered about the technical side of the vehicle. I want to get serious about it now, and perhaps (in the long run) establish a repair workshop or start a modding/restoration business.

I have found a Gypsy 410 2005 model (carburettor) and plan to buy it and restore to at least a good stock condition. I intend to do that myself and learn about automobile parts, functions, sub-assemblies, etc. along.

I have the Suzuki Samurai Service Manual for carburettor (found somewhere within this forum threads). I found that there are many differences:-

1. The manual mentions an ECM but the Gypsy has none.
2. The carburettor is top draft type in the manual, whereas it is side draft type on the Gypsy.
3. The ignition coil in the manual doesn't have the inductance/resistance connected in series with the battery, but the Gypsy has one.

Or am I wrong? Please correct me if my following assumptions are also wrong because I am struggling to find the correct connections for the various hoses and electricals (pictures attached):-

• I believe that a hose connects (through the T) between the Air Filter and the Carburettor
• I think a thin hose connects between the distributor and the carburettor
• The electrical connection from the carburettor solenoid (at the top) is simply connected to the positive battery terminal. In the manual, this is connected to the ECM.
• The starter motor solenoid has two terminals instead of one so I assumed that one of them is simply ground wire and the other obviously is the ignition start. I don't understand why a separate ground wire terminal is provided.
• The 4WD lever was stuck in neutral and I took it out. I bought a new plastic bushing for the lever but the bushing simply won't fit. With the lever out and free, I was able to engage the gear to 4W - low (as that is what I wanted). But, will that gear stay that way after I remove the lever?

I'm sorry to make my first post long and demanding. I hope that soon, I will be able to contribute and help others as well. Thank you.

Hi fellas, I have come a long way since I last posted these queries on the forum and have been able to do certain bits of homework. I am answering to my own questions, for the benefit of other members who may find some info useful.

This is for the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation). This prevents hot air pressure built-up within the crankcase and connects to the Air filter (acts as air exhaust) and the intake manifold through a one way check valve (acts as air compensator) through a T-connection.

This line connects the intake manifold vacuum line to the distributor for timing advancement. At higher RPMs, the ignition has to be advanced (early sparks) for proper fuel combustion. This is achieved using a vacuum activated actuator to advance the distributor timing.

This is simply the fuel-cut solenoid switch. Shuts off the fuel supply in the carburettor and makes the engine stop.

During cranking, since a lot of current flows through the starter motor, the ignition coil doesn't receive enough voltage for a "good" spark production in the spark plugs. This additional switch in the starter motor solenoid bypasses the resistor (mounted on the ignition coil) and compensates for the lack of ignition coil primary voltage. After cranking is done, the current to the ignition coil flows through the resistor, as it normally does when the engine is running.

Aftermarket bushings, takes a while to fit these. Took a while to install it, but now the 4WD lever works like a charm.
