1992 Isuzu MU hard top review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good all-round performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust gas return valves failed and were replaced with secondhand.
Injectors are currently showing signs of wear.
Constantly tightening bolts etc due to typical diesel shaking.
Electric door switches have perished on both sides, though easily replaced.
General comments?
Beautiful to drive on the highway.
Economical 750 k's from a full tank.
Interior is immaculate and hasn't faded or worn in the time I have had it.
Routine replacement of consumables such as battery, radiator and brakes, nothing untimely.
This model is thoroughly covered with bash-plates for radiator, sump and transfer case.
