Finally pulled the finger out today & fitted 2 new O2 sensors to the GV. I now have no light telling me there is a drama & it runs noticeably better. pompoms

Have couple hundred K run tomorrow so we shall see what the fuel economy is at now. Was originally 12.5 per 100k, changed one out for a spare I had it went down to 11.8 per 100k. Heres hoping for high 10s at least..

pulled the finger out & polished the cloudy crap off the headlights, fitted some new xenon 90/100s, adjusted 2 doors & even changed the viscous fan. Not a bad little day.

Isn't there a risk of melting your headlights housings using 90/100 bulbs?

I have the same issue. Did you put new ones in? Where did you get them from and how much?
I looked on suzistore and they where $350!!!
Elsewhere I have seen them for ~$100-150, it's just a screw out screw in job yeah?

cleaned the plastic on the headlights & the globes were just xenon not HID. The xenon globes were only $30 from fleabay.

I've relayed & upgraded my headlight wiring, put in some +80% bulbs but still not happy with the light output.

Who did you buy your lights from?

How the hell did you remove the O2 sensor?
I picked up one from repco, but it feels like it is welded tight to the exhaust

Sorry noob here

They can be tight bastards, but you just gotta keep pushing till it lets go.
