Suzuki don't print books any more. The manuals are only on CDROM.

You want Suzuki CDROM 99560-65D60-015, I should think. It includes models SQ420WD (RF Diesel engine) and SQ420WD (RHZ Diesel engine).
I have not seen it on-line. All the ones on EBay from the US exclude the diesels, because they were not sold across the pond.

Great thanks - downloaded.
Going back to the oil filter, any tips on this one? Ive taken off the plastic protector from under the engine and can see the filter but cant work out how to get there. The nearetst I got was to undo the radiator expansion box from inside the engine compartment and move it to one side so I could get my arm in - since I only had a strap oil filter remover, couldnt turn it far emough to undo. Oil filter end cap socket on its way for another go. Frustrating thing is that when you look from the nearside wheelarch, you stare right at the filter.

Richard..same problem here!i managed to get mine off though..lots of skin missing from hand!think you can get a socket set attachment with a uj on it and a "clamp"that fits round the filter..NO other way from what i can see!and you have to attack it from the top holding the res out of the way..
good luck!

Thanks Steve, if it wasnt for the fact that Ive got a couple of air con pipes (i think) on the inside of the nearside inner wing, there'd be a port there tomorrow to get the filter off that way.....

When I moved the radiator expansion tank out of the way I could get my hand on the filter - the only possible way as far as I could see.
Thanks for the reply - reassuring to know that its the way to do it.
