1999 Isuzu Trooper duty dt review from UK and Ireland
"Thumbs up from me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 months after I bought the Trooper, the clutch died. "No problem," I thought; "the warranty will cover it." NO CHANCE, clutch failure is classed as wear and tear, even though it had only 33000 miles on the clock (AA 5 star gold warranty). The main dealer I bought it from said they couldn't fix it for 2 weeks, so I went to a local garage where I got stung for £900.
Otherwise, it has been reliable so far. I did change the shocks to off road items, but they are too soft for on road, (brilliant off road tho).
General comments?
Interior is a bit drab and basic, but it is a duty spec and at least it all works. While it does roll a bit in the bends, but hey, it's a 4x4, not a sports car.
