Hoping I can find an aftermarket plug for a 2009 3.2L V6 Grand Vitara.
Spent the whole week with a car stuck at the mechanics cause the twats at Suzuki don't hold the plugs for my car. (Apparently my mechanic is insisting that it takes 4 days to get these plugs to Sydney). If I can get them I'll get an extra one so I can give him one to put up his arse.
They also tell me that there is no aftermarket plug for it, so I'll have to smile while I cough up $60 per plug ($360). Along with replacing fucked coil packs.
So seeing as they won't use Vaseline while I'm being thumb packed I'm hoping that someone might point me in the direction of a cheaper alternative plug.

Any help greatly appreciated!

There will be a NGK Iridium plug that will suit for around the $20-30 mark stocked locally.

Apparently NGK don't list a plug for that motor. Champion do list one, #9901 is the part number and Repco stock them
