1990 Isuzu MU review from Australia and New Zealand
"A nice compromise vehicle for two people"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking main oil seal at 65000 km.
The above also caused the clutch to fail at the same time.
Handbrake seized (off) at 70000 km.
Both front Constant Velocity joints at 68000 km.
General comments?
Very agile on and off road, although body roll at speed is disconcerting.
A bit lacking when it comes to sheer grunt on the road.
Off road it has all the torque you will need.
Deceptively large cabin - I have taken out the rear seats - plenty of room for a fortnights holiday junk.
