1992 Isuzu Bighorn Lotus Handling review from UK and Ireland
"Solid, reliable, but thirsty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the AA out to add a leak sealer to a leaking water pump gasket. Otherwise, just general service/maintenance repairs/tyres.
General comments?
Excellent for room with 7 comfy seats.
Solid as a rock and very reliable.
This car will go where others can't.
The one and only bad thing is it can drink diesel 18/gal.
Great handling, still like new bodywork, waxoiled.
I'm about to part ex her for a Skoda Octavia 2.0 estate, and I am still having doubts. It's only for the fuel benefits. It's been such a good motor, and I honestly will cry on the day.
Did try bio-diesel, but it's as much as diesel now.
Even the wife doesn't want this car to go.
Last winter I towed a scouts minibus and fully loaded trailer out of the Staffordshire moors in snow - no problems. Great in 4x4 in winter.
