2009 suzuki grand vitara 2.4 petrol

Yes it is, pre dpf as well

It has HDC, took it green laning 2 days after getting it, never missed the low box

the one im looking at has DPF, but it seems to be a better system than in my jag and i do enough motorway miles it shouldnt be an issue...i know a land rover boy that has a magic computer if needs be too

as for low box, i rarely used it in my terrecan, it was always on in the td5 but that was just junk from start to finish really...1500 quid bought at peteborough show, dragged it home to south wales and the moment it corssed the border the 3 amigos came on and never went away for more than a week at a time.

not a huge amount of green laning opportunities around here, the good ones have TRO's in palce, the average ones are usually blocked up by farmers

Well, yesterday turned into a non event with the vitara...he messaged me to say it was flat in the storage place, then messaged to say it could t get started so he was going to go and buy a battery for it and woukd message me when he was leaving the unit to meet him at the forecourt...thats the kastbi heard off him so either its dead or he just couldn't be bothered.

I'm running out of time now as im away from tomorrow, so ive messaged the freelander guy 10 mins ago and already had a response I can see it at 3 today

Land Rover is always the right decision

Using mine in the lakes this weekend, 40mpg on a run and not too worried about Muppets on the little roads

It seems to be...no rust except 1 of the side step mounts, bit of box section will sort that out (and means i can play with new mig)...goes well, smooth, quiet, comfy, nearly new tyres plus full size steel spare, everything works, 2 keys...only thing that isnt working is the tailgate button, but it opens off the fob so ill order a 15 quid button and I managed to talk him down by £275 quid for some scratches and touch ups it needs, but its never going to be a show car so may not bother...it'll only get scratched again some of the places I go fishing

Mine needs a pair of front wings really, but will wait. I've serviced it and put a decent fuel filter on it. Decent power, I had no idea what to expect but have been consistently impressed

Only mod I have done is change to later projector headlights and led bulbs, £60 but easy to fit and a must for where I live

Took it green laning 2 days after buying

I will chuck some better bulbs in it probably, not sure which, maybe some night breakers

Headlights are easy to get out, 2 10mm bolts and pull a lever

I like simplicity...what i dont like is how long i spent looking for the brake fluid reservoir only to realise its under a cover by the wipers
