2002 Isuzu Trooper Citation review from UK and Ireland
"Rubbish and unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OK, bought this Trooper in Jan 2009 with a full service history, and all appeared fine.
The day after buying it, it wouldn't start! Was a week in garage and was fitted with new glow plugs and relay switch.
Came back fine for about 4 weeks. Turbo charger blew and was in garage again for three weeks!!!
Got it back for another 3 weeks, and won't start yet again!! Fuel rail switch renewed and now told the turbo that was just put in is faulty!!! Now waiting for another charger. Have had nothing but trouble with it since buying at end of January.
General comments?
When it runs without engine problems, it is really quick and nice to drive!
