Here's an easy one for those in the know........ :whistle:

Having sold my touring caravan on Sunday, the one that got burgled, I no longer need the whopping great Cherokee, so when I come back from my hols mid-October I'm going to be looking for a 3-door Vitara 1.6 vvt , 2007-8 ish.

We all know the Jimny has its Achilles heels....boot floor, kingpins etc., but I know absolutely nothing about the Vitara in this respect...would much appreciate some pointers to save me going in blind.

Cheers,

Gus ;)

I've had three of them now...

A 3 door petrol, 5 door petrol, and now a 3 door diesel on an '08 plate...

Never had any issues with any of them! B)
