As facade says, you will probably have to move or remove the transfer box.

The gearbox breather is near impossible to get to. Your best bet is from the inside of the car through the gaiter.

what colour is the oil likely to be in the gearbox? i doubt its ever been changed as the car is only 20 months old. Im being told by other people that is will be red. The oil im losing is a golden colour.

ATF is red. Gear oils are usually brown/gold, but I know that Vauxhall gear oil is wine red too.

If it is 20 months old surely it is in warranty: take it back and get Suzuki to fix it)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

If it was as simple as that i would. At the moment i have no front diff as it smashed into 8 bits. It also says on the warenty card that warrenty is void if it is modified. So if any one has a front diff for a 06+ or even a matching pair, let me know.
