Just treat it like any other car mate. Check your temps and fluids, listen for odd noises, smells etc, and drive safely.

| Post subject: | Finally got my first Suzuki, What do I check. |
Hi all, After about 6 months of reading these forums and gaining some info from a lot of you, I have finally purchased a 96 SWB JLX Vitara, 1.6EFI Auto, Stock Standard, with under 170,000km on the clock. Particular thanks to Gwagensteve for previous advice on what to look for . Now for a couple of quick questions. The vehicle will be collected at the weekend and needs to be driven 200+ kms home. Given that I don't know much about the Suzuki, other than doing the usual tyres, oil, and water check before departing, what else should I check for and what do you suggest for the trip.eg Drive for 15 mins and re check temp, oil etc. Not to sure about this and I don't want to stuff something up just because I miss a warning sign. Thanks for the help so far, Kev. |

Also it will take you 3 days if you are stopping to check water every 15 minutes, having to let it cool down enough to open without burning yourself. |

I'm guessing you'll be going with a mate so if trouble strikes you'll have support. Take some tools & tow rope so you don't need them Check the obvious & air in tyres and enjoy the adventure Have u got RACV or your equivalent I bought a 30 yr old original imported unreg classic & drove home 800km, many things didn't work, checked the fuel & topped up the oil at each servo we passed, one of lifes highlites. |

The car drove a treat and never missed a beat. Another question however, it does not have the owners handbook so I don't know how somethings work. Does anyone have a spare book for a 95-96 Vitara for sale or can someone suggest where I might be able to get one. Kev. |
