Engine over heat all the time so easy

If the fan is running it may be a stuck closed thermostat. If the fan does not run it may be fan relay, fuse, temp sensor or fan itself. If you have 2 fans one is usually for cooling water temp and the other is when you turn on A/C. The one for the cooling water temp should come on and off to keep the water temp at a set temp point. If it over heats and the fan is working I would say the thermostat is probably the problem.

My 2005 suzuki vitara idles up and down when a/c is on

this is normal. it has been so for 50+ years. if you watch under the hood, you will note that this occurs as the compressor cycles on and off. more load on engine requires more fuel, live with it.

My suzuki has had no problems up till now and it is giving me loads of bother - it has become very sluggish/loses power and sounds as if isnt firing on all cylinders - it sometimes clears itself and r

they all do that not service, ever car ever made. its called misfire. get a tuneup. the swsn tool will show P30x 300 is random all 301, to 30x is what cylinder is it. misfire has 3 causes. but tune up is 1st , next time scan the PCM.. see can see what the DTCs are. for example CMP or CKP errorss.

Esp light and brake light on

the operators guide tells you to take it in. (suzuki or any ASE shop) the brake lamp can be on with low fluid level, or far worse ESP takes special tools.. no comment. RTM. or login to alldata.com and read. keep in mind, fix brakes first ,ESP last. ESP uses brakes, and if bad, ESP will be , sad.

Power steering

Check power steering reservoir for fluid. Also check for any leaking oil brom your steering rack. If pump is belt driven check your belt for tightness and any cracking. Any cracking and it is time for a new belt. I am going to bet on low fluid though.
