Yeah, losing coolant can happen through the head gasket, but there are other reasons for it, too. Might be a 'weeping' water pump, which is much less...
Hi Kelly, thanks for the detailed mail. Yeah, coolant level I can say almost one inche is reducing in a day from the jar level. Mechanic has checked the water...

I am considering buying a 1996 Sidekick to complement my 2006 GV. It is a 4cyl with 132K miles. Asking price is $1000. Are there any known issues with this...
Bummer. Well, it might be able to limp along for a good while, if you're gentle with it. No repeated 6,000 RPM shifts. ;-) Did the mechanic say which bank of...
There are few things I recommend, as rarely does something live up to what is advertised. This is one of those items. The Zuk has pretty good headlight...
yep, silverstars are quite amazing. i have them in all my vehicles and my bike. i hate drl's too, but in my 01 all i had to do was pull one plug up under the...
Being mine is a 5-speed, I wanted the 'brake' light working, as I usually engaged it just enough to make it not roll at whatever angle it was at. Typically...
Silverstars are good (but watch out, there's a difference between the Silvania ones and the same from Osram [the parent company]- one uses a blue filter one...
... we ... so 'dark' ... nope. i liked that idiot feature. there were times that they were on when not needed, but overall it allowed me to be more lazy....

G'day. Is there a Bul Bar for the 2006 Grand Vitara available ?? I know Suzuki have a plastic looking nudge bar available. No one is Australia has one or is...
Considering no one in the US makes one for the previous generation GV's I doubt it. Calmini has been showing theirs for years but still won't make them for...
I saw that, ironically, two days after my wife and I took a 'shortcut' around the I-15 backup which was estimated to be at least 3 hours, through Death Valley....
I believe that solid front bars have been near-enough outlawed in the EU, for pedestrian safety; that's why you're seeing so many deformably plastic items now....
That's it, I've *gotta* learn how to weld.... I have a few pages from an Australian magazine called 'Outback', I think, which has many a picture of an...
I'm on the brink of buying a trailer hitch for the 99 GV but I don't want a hitch that hurts my departure angle unnecessarily, however I can't tell from images...
Well, they're all going to intrude on departure angle to some degree, heh, heh...get it...degree....and which one you want depends on what you want to tow. For...
Non-US owners manual quotes a maximum unbraked capacity of 1000lbs for all models. With brakes, it's 1000lbs for the 3-door 1500lbs for the 5- door 3000lbs...
Yeah, I shoulda mentioned that they blamed it at least partly on the lack of skidplating. Our '03 GV (and all GV's and Vits as far as I've seen) don't come...
If I ever had to I'd import one from Australia. EC...R?....ECB?...something like that. TJM of Australia makes a bumper for the 99+ Vitara/GV too. Seems like ...
I've got a Hidden Hitch Class III hitch on our '03. As Kelly said it fits up nice to the body and bumper and if you are going to hit the hitch you'll have...
Hey guys! So these may be silly questions, but I was wondering in what cases you would want to turn the O/D off? I have accidentally bumped it off before, and...
