Has anyone had a problem with not being able to get the tailgate open? I also had a 1995 Sidekick that did the same thing. The latch won't release. Can the...
Hi, re. the back door, can you feel the latch click when you pull the handle? The handle itself is a weak spot and if it's cracked where the "finger" pokes...
New member. My daughters '02 Grand Vitara broke the fuel door spring/hinge thingy... Tried to jury rig, but it didn't last. Been searching the net and can't...
Aw, it's highly likely the spring is a one-off part. The dealer might not be too horribly priced. I doubt the savings is worth the time to scour a junkyard. ...
Got the tailgate latch working. The tailgate door panel came off and went back on easily. I couldn't see how to get the latch apart, so I sprayed it and the...
Guys; I just changed everything in my '02 GV with 2.5V6, auto transmission and 60K miles over to Mobil synthetics. I'm using 10W-30 oil in the crank case,...
No worries, mate. I like helping others spend money. Remember, though, you'll likely not have to change the T-case or diffs for a while...and by "a while", I...
Kelly; You’ll notice I made a math mistake…I didn’t get 9.8% increase. It was 278/11.9=23.36 : 23.36/21.5=1.0865 or only 8.7% increase. Still quite a...
Yeah, sorry 'bout that. My brain is a bit fried from wrestling with some seized bolts on a Cummins diesel starter for several hours, today. 70K - 60K = 10K ...
Just a point…if you dealing with tight hex head bolts don’t use 12 point sockets or wrenches, they don’t have enough engagement to not round the corners...
I understand that. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen real 12 bolts. I’ve seen some TORX bolts – reverse TORX with a built in washer – used to hold ...
Yeah, this was a new one on me, too. I'd even gone to Sears to get a set of reverse Torx sockets, as it was the only thing I'd not tried, yet, and I read on...
I've just changed all my gear oils too but with conventional grades. Can't get full-synthetics at reasonable cost here in New Zealand ... it's the land that...
True. I'm at a loss, here, with experience, as after the OEM diff exploded @ 55K, the replacements tended to blow up every 8K-11K miles. I was very familiar...
Just got a new fuel door for daughters '02 GV. Looks like I now need to buy a spring for it. I have diagrams of the parts in and around the door that the...
I can take a digital picture of mine and send it to you if you want. I need a real address though as I don’t know how to upload a picture to the group. One...
I deleted this message just so the spam-bots don't get ahold of it. Kelly ... need a real address though as I don't know how to upload a picture to the group. ...
Please recheck your figures and/or provide references where the figures were obtained. The reason I suggest this is because I don't believe the differentials...

Page 7E-9 indicates the it takes 1.0 Liter (2.1/1.8 US/Imp. Pt) for the front differential and on Page 7F-3 indicates the it takes 2.2 Liters (4.6/3.9 US/Imp....
After almost six years and 150k miles of good service, my GV goes away next week. I'll still be around the odd time, to see what's happening with you good...
Dave, nice sharing with you, and planning to do likewise. Don't know what to get to replace it... not many options down here...  La justicia no consiste en...
I have a 2000 Grand Vitara. When I got my manual from Suzuki, I was a bit disappointed to see there was no info on the sound system. At the top of my...
You would have to purchase the changer itself. Have it installed and then you would have control to change CD's.  Thank you, Ben C WARNING - CONFIDENTIALITY...
