mmm Yes.

New clutch, oil leak, rad fan not working, failed sun visor, failed reversing lights, air con not working, oil cooler failed, high level brake light failed. Not a comprehensive list just a taster.

Join http://www.suzuki4u.co.uk. IanL will become your new best friend. Top Man.

If you plan on using the 4 wheel drive element ever, then have a play with it somewhere. If you have the freewheel auto hubs they take some getting used to. Also the turning circle doubles from 3000 metres to 6,000

I might become your second best friend :y

PS the wee smell is from poor road holding approaching slippery corners at Omega speeds. That is easy to overcome.

Suzuki4u? Joined last night and am still waiting for an email to validate my membership. This model is permanent 4 wheel drive and, as far as I can tell, it's the drive train that is the main worry.

Failed sun visor? Don't need them here.

Welcome to the real world of forums.

After being spoilt by years of superb OOF, it is a step down. Not to worry the safe , sure handling and supreme reliability will overcome the corona effect of having had an Omega..... :y

Don't you have sun in your country? It is a real problem here! Had to resort to Velcro till I found a scrap yard with one in. (still waiting............as they are so reliable and rust free) ;D ;D ;D ;D

I grew very fond of my zafira. It's a good one, if you know what I mean. Had it three and a half years and never had to spend a penny on repairs. More room behind the seats than the vitara too. But, time to move on, things would have started to go wrong on a seven yeaar old bus.

Well that isn't difficult. I once made the mistake of saying on OFF that the Omega boot was small . Just enough room in a Vitara SWB for a bottle of milk. LWB. Two bottles of milk, six pack of beer and one bottle of wine. Rest you have to stow in the rear foottwells  :o
