New member just saying 'hi'

Post by chriswilloughby » Mon May 02, 2016 9:44 pm

Just picked up as my daily drive, a 3 door Vitara 1.6 SE, first registered Feb 04 with 74k on the clock. Really happy with it so far! Obviously has a few niggles but mainly cosmetic, runs really well though!! Any hints-tips-advice would be really appreciated. I plan to change gearbox oil and rear axle oil soon but what oils do I use? The last owner had put some sort of window tint on which I'm going to be taking off as its worn pretty badly. Overall though, pretty chuffed!

Nice Vit! 'silver' never dates :D

Only being an SJ owner, I'll let other more knowledgeable members answer your specific queries.

I had an SJ van about 18 years ago, loved it to bits.

I guess it's the longer days, but it can seem slow around here at times...
