1997 Isuzu KB Series KB 200 Standard review from South Africa
"Isuzu could be a lot cheaper to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy suspension requiring replacement of ball joints 2 times at 90,000 and at 130,000 Km
Clutch kit replaced 2 times at 80,000 and at 130,000 Km
Starter replaced at 75,000
Exhaust System replaced with stainless steel type at 54,000 Km.
General comments?
The truck is very fuel efficient with the best consumption of 8.4 Liters per 100 Km and is quite fast
It has been a benchmark in comfort
However, the engine noise very intrusive into the Truck.
