About fuel tank lid of Suzuki Grang Vitara and fuel and refuellers in filling stations. 23.07.2009.
Suzuki Grang Vitara have a bug: if the fuel tank lid carelessly closed, you do not open. Fixation must be exactly one, otherwise it can hold the button, which you open in the cabin. Specifically in the passenger pulls a lever and the lid does not open.
The essence of this problem — we close the lid gently, and not as refuellers — flakes with force. It was after action refuellers I learned about this flaw. Since then not allowed refuellers to the car.
A recently discovered that there is a category of people who are not able fill the car.

It is easy to get out on the Vitara on the ice. Events in February 2008. 02.06.2009
History occurred in February 2007. We went to Geocaching in the Tula region for the whole day. On the road stuck in a field. Vitara rides over the drifts above the glass. But above the roof failed. Hour digging. Then go to the place of another road. By the time I was decently tired. Behind the wheel just me.The sun came out. Playing nice music. Around the field, beauty. Road - pure ice. I'm tired. Not included four-wheel drive (not 4x4). The sun and the rate of about 70 km / h.
Suddenly, a leading rear wheel hits the asphalt. And again the ice! Drifts went. SPIKES - no thorns, no matter. Fly right. Road to the embankment. Right ravine. Behind him the trees. Could go to the left. Now fly to the left. In the field. Little experience. On the road, could not resist.
The winter of 2007/2008, I began training in the field. A month later there was a similar situation to the highway. Then was ld on the excellent asphalt, the rate of 80. Heavy traffic. I was ready and made the necessary steps immediately. In the summer of 2009 successfully resolved a similar situation on a gravel road at 70 km / h.
