Have a 1996 SWB Vitara Soft top (G16B)

which I am slowly repairing. (only have basic mechanical experience)
Have a Gregorys manual 1988-2000 & also a DVD disc for same period but finding some things not always fully covered in Gregorys or on the disc.
Is the Haynes manual any better than the Gregorys or does someone else produce a more comprehensive manual??
Thanks

Gregory and Haynes are shit. Get a genuine Suzuki one. It's about 8732468932746923852938469834275912834709128560142561209348x better.

Where can I obtain the Suzuki one,only seen the Haynes & Gregorys.
Doubt local Suzuki dealer would stock for a vehicle that is 18yrs old??

I don't doubt a dealer would be able to get one for you.

They are expensive, but worth every cent, especially in comparison to the terrible haynes/gregory manuals, which I reckon make any job harder than using no manual at all.

Inquired at my local Suzuki dealer,but as I thought "No mate nothing for a vehicle that old!!
Couldnt tell me where to get one,mind you we live just outside a small country town in Northern NSW!!
Cant download the FSM as restricted on my computer.
I am prepared to pay for a hard copy of FSM if anybody knows where I can get one.
Thanks

Your best bet is to find a different computer and download those manuals linked, then print them out and bind them up.
