Britishbull24 131 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Iv got an x reg 2 litre petrol Grande vitara and it's fantastic. My only problem with it is boot space. I struggle to get the terrier boxes and tools in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 97 which did, remember the filters were £16 unless you bought a pajero one for £5 which was exactly the same, robbing b*****ds. I'd still recommend the later GV with the pug engines cos the fuel pump went on my Mazda engine & they're like rocking horse shit. £250 for 2nd hand, I can buy a whole HDI engine for £150 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
