1995 Isuzu KB Series 280 LE review from Zimbabwe
"Excellent buy, a partner for life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator packed in 130,000 km.
Shocks at 90,000 km.
Rear main oil seal at 65,000 km (probably due to pushing it too hard - sitting at 155-160 km/h on long trips).
General comments?
Great truck, very comfortable, smooth ride, excellent acceleration and economy. Looks great. Handles very well on and off road. Diff lock is added bonus.
