i use my own work, we are based in the city.
we arent zook specialists but we work on most cars,
Wright St Mechanical 82315706, basically next to central markets, booked fairly heavy at the moment so you have to make a booking for next week if you were interested

bugger, i've found that the crew at suzuki in the city to be pretty good.
viv, the old chap behind the counter has been more than helpfull chasing part numbers genuine & non genuine & even letting me borrow their FSM to have a read through to double check what needed to be doing.
i had them fit the open 5.12:1 diff centre to my vit a few years ago, i tried doing it myself after smashing my knee up pretty good & i couldn't get the axles to move, they had it done in a couple hours with new bearings while giving me a loan car to get to & from work that day.
sorry i'm not much more help as that is the only a few places my zook has been apart from the exhaust shop.

Where exactly is the coolant coming from?
I've dealt with Suzuki in the city through work and they've always been very helpful.

If I were more familiar with zook engines, i'd help you out there.
That said, you could have a shot at reparing it yourself? I'd take it to Suzuki and have them pressure test it if you don't have a rpessure tester just to diagnose it.
Anything bar the head shouldn't be too hard. Realistically a headgasket is a fairly simple matter if you follow instructions

 that would explain it...
they would have to be one the most helpful stealerships around that actually takes the time out to look after randoms not chasing a new car service.
i've used them to put a clutch in while they replaced the rear main seal on my vit cause i couldn't be arsed dealing with the head ache.
plus the bonus of getting a loan car to thrash the bejesus out of
