Description

The Sedici is made by Suzuki and is exactly the same as the Suzuki SX4 except for the badges. It is 2 wheel drive with selectable 4 wheel drive in high and low ratio that all works well. Sid has been meticulously looked after by me and had only 3 previous owners, one of which was Fiat using him as a demo car. When I first acquired him in 2020 he had 60,000 miles on the clock backed up by old MOT's, I thought the clutch pedal was a little high so had a new clutch fitted by Mister Clutch in Birmingham, they said that there was nothing wrong with the old clutch but as they had the gearbox off I told them to replace it. I my self, replaced all of the front suspension, front and rear brakes including rear cylinders, front disc's and rear drums, water pump, fan belt, rear wheel bearing, front and rear axle oil, brake fluid and wiper blades, not because it needed it, but it was lockdown and I needed something to do and I wanted to make sure Sid was safe and reliable. Later that year the battery failed and I fitted a new battery. Since then I have done about 15,000 miles with zero issues, I have changed the engine oil every year (Fiat recommended oil) as did the previous owner (I have all the receipts), I have fitted a K&N air filter which you clean each year instead of replacing and it gives higher air flow, I have fitted Iridium spark plugs, the brake master cylinder had a bit of creep on it so I replaced that and have bled the brakes twice since owning Sid, I also replaced both rear axle drive seals as one had a slight weep, fitted uprated headlight bulbs, OEM Fiat mudflaps, new clutch pedal rubber and bought bespoke mats for inside. In Feb 2023 I had 4 new all weather tyres fitted, they have now done about 7,000 miles. He is great on fuel (about 40 mpg), is stable and steady. If you are looking for a fast car this is not the car for you, he goes well and will look after you if you look after him and care for him, but it is not a car to thrash around. MOT is until 10/11/2025, last MOT he failed on lower wishbone, as this had not long been changed and had a 5 year warranty on it the supplier sent me 2 new lower wishbones and I replaced both of them. He has a cam chain not cam belt so no issues there all the electrics work well, has electric windows which all work. Loads of history , get in touch any questions
