Have you performed the Basic diagnosis like Dry Wet Compression Test etc. to determine whether the Engine is actually needs a rebuild?

FL22 is Mazda specific coolant type similar to Toyota Super Long Life Coolant. you could use any reputed coolant in the market like (Valvoline) Zerex Asian Vehicle coolant, Bear Brand (Seiken) Hyper Long Life Coolant etc for pre-mixed ones. these are pretty much similar to Mazdas FL22. but remember to flush the existing with Distilled water at least couple of times before using these pre-mixed coolants. https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-cx-5-54/2014-cx5-fl22-coolant-alternative-emergency-47052/ https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/closest-equivalent-to-mazdas-type-fl22-coolant.365131/

Recently Purchased a Teyes Spro Plus for My Vitara. got it down from Aliexpress. Support is also good since it's Russian and Chinese product and updates are available. not to forget out of the box all the Steering controls worked and all the Wirings also included and installation was a breeze (Installed by myself).

Center diff. Even brand new ones imported had this.

Replying since I'm owning a Vitara (2007 2.0 AWD).. What type of Vitara is this? there are 2 Litre 2wd Model which imported down under Permits, and 2.4 Litre Model with All wheel Drive (Full Time). for 2.4 Model there's known issue of Engine Block getting cracked due to a die-cast issue. i think this was sorted out after 2010. there is specific Engine numbers which are affected, perhaps you can clear this out from he Agents. for AWD Model these will do only around 6-7 in City. also AWD model is very maintenance intensive you need to spend some moolah on Drive train maintenance such as Diff oil changes Transfer case Oil change etc. 2WD model is very basic model with better gas mileage. should do around the figures you mentioned above.

Watchout for the JATCO Transmission in Outlander which is notorious for giving trouble after 100K. out of the above lot, Montero Sport would be ideal but if your looking for creature comfort, Try to source a Sorento, if Diesel doesn't suits you why not source a well maintained Petrol one?

Check Grand vitara 2wd permit imported ones.. AWD ones bit complicated to maintain and bit thirstier..

On the contrary would love to have a 70 Series petrol one.. never liked the diesels anyway!..

Yeah, such a waste seeing souped up LCs in Colombo roads for grocery runs and none seeing off roads.. 🤐me neither a fan of Chrome accents on the newer Prados and LCs looks just hideous and Mudalali type..

Adoh! Me with a iPhone XR.. what is the level?.. Bankoloth perhaps.. 😁

This is the Overflow hose to reservoir tank usually comes without any clips attached to it. replacement is fairly simple, just pull it out from the neck of Cap assembly, suck out 🤐 (Using Syringe or similar tool as Rad coolant are poisonous) and empty the reservoir tank and pull the hose from it. use the hose as sample when you're buying as some hoses differ in diameter.

Ohhh thats Bad Really really bad.. thankfully most of the parts which i was intended to restore the Bodywork is almost completed for my Vitara. The LED (Auxito) High beams got it yesterday as well without any issues through UPS) as final touches. Pending work is to get the Mountings (Both Engine and Diff mounts) observed slightly small crack on rear Diff mount, nothing major but Engine mounts has to go) and Timing chain kit plus Valve stem seals (Yes i'm seeing Blue smoke at cold starts). Anyway these are really bad days for restorations 😑

After November i had ordered Bumper Mount clips, 2 bonnet hinges, Wire Harness and recently ventilator Apart from Ventilator other's were imported through Aramex (Partsouq). no issues.

Couldn't locate Automotive spare parts in the Gazette.. https://www.scribd.com/embeds/588595553/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&access_key=key-5pXatNjcSBPHWUDsT6SF
