New motor suzuki vitara

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Well i have been thinking of getting a 4x4 for while now i was looking at disco's and the like.What with every thing going up in price(fuel,food bills)and a morgage to think about,i thought i would go for something low end 4x4 and picked up this little sweetheart.

 

 

 

She may not look much to you folks with big cars,but she is perfect for what i want it for.I work for a motor factors company so i thought i would get the timing belt done just in case and while it was in the garage get a full service done.

So i priced up the bits,a oil filter cost me 0.95p air filter £1.29 and spark plugs 0.79p each what a bargin.Just what i want a nice cheap runnaround.

 

And yes i have heard all the hairdresser jokes and the bum boys joke

 

Ignore the pick house nextdoor she's a bit looney

That look's a tidy little motor mate and im sure you will have some fun in it.. ..

I was thinking mate on the wheel's and tyre's.. not that they is anything wrong with the one's you have.. but if you can get a cheap set of steel rim's with good off road tyres on them you will benefit good style trough out the winter month's

Cheer's

Aren't them wheels up to the job then millet?

Which tyres would you recommended?

Its my first 4x4 always willing to learn something, thanks millet.

 

I am glad you like the house colour mate i tell you she is cranky she wanted me to paint mine the same colour .I told her where to go

looks like a decent cheap motor, just the way I like them

 

A fool and his money are easily parted, and that 4 x 4 will not owe you much when you decide to get rid.

 

Good luck.

Come on mate, don't be shy now .............. you parked your car in your neighbours drive to take the pics didn't you?! You knew you'd get lashed relentlessly on here if you put a pic up of your Vitara outside your pink house ...........

 

 

Wilf, why have you got a photo of me as your avatar??? (the KKK one before you change it quickly to some gay bar loiterer! )

 

 

Car looks ok, can't ask for much for 500 quid, if you like it then thats all that counts, am sure it will get you where you want to go.

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Thanks for the replys lads,had the cambelt done today just to be sure it want snap on me.

 

And for the record that is not my pink house and i have not swop driveways either. .

 

As for coming out the closet MR WOODGA who was the one standing over my bed with a jar of vaseline while i was a sleep .

Nice motor Mr Teapot, it is definitely NOT a hairdressers car. The special edition models in bright green (Verdi) and the pinky red (Rossini) were reckoned to be the hairdressers favorites. Have fun with it, they are very robust and reliable.I have had Suzuki 4x4 for years, and always been pleased with them.

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

Thanks GEOFF i can see your a man of taste .

It is a nice car its the first 4x4 i have had.Going off road at the weekend,should be fun

The Vitara's are a damn sight better off road than a lot of folk give them credit for, if you're going to hammer it though, watch out for the front axle, they're a bit weak, but if you whip it off and swap it for a sammy, they're a lot stronger, rip the back box off and shove a short coupled muffler on (otherwise it'll just get ripped off anyway) and stick as big a set of wheels and mud terrains on as'll fit and you REALLY can do some serious playing in a Vitara.

 

I've seen some belters doing the business, there was an absolute cracker at Parkwood recently showing how to do it, I might have a few piccies, if I get a minute, I'll pop em on.
