Hi from Co. Durham!

Post by watty1 » Mon Jan 19, 2015 8:26 pm

Hi all, not yet a Suzuki owner but toying with a GV diesel in a few months! Looking to spend around £1500 ish, so the usual questions :D . What to look/check for? Mazda or Peugeot engine and can these both have performance upgrades done ie, intercooler upgrade, chip/remap, de cat/ exhaust upgrade, K&N filter or similar. Thanks in advance, Watty :thumbup:

:welcome: to :suzuki: club UK

One of our regulars is in your neck of the woods in Darlington, I'm sure he'll be along soon.

I'm not too clued up on the diesel GVs, both seem to be good but one of them has been known to sometimes have a few immobiliser issues, I just can't remember which one.
