1991 Isuzu Trooper review from North America
"I love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump and timing belt went out at 210.
Transmission seal went out 3 times.
Tourq converter was bad when bought the people who fixed it didn't bold it correctly and it cracked in half.
Head had two cracks in it cost 1000 to fix.
Now the thermal valve broke so it runs kind of bad.
It started a mysterious oil leak by oil filter just this las week my mecanic said oil filter gasket was bad I bought a new one it cut leak in half, but not fixed it turned out to be the oil pressure switch right next to it.
My CV joint was destroyed by a rock because I was stupid and drove it off roading w/o a cv boot.
General comments?
I absolutely LOVE this car even with all of its little problems I think I will never get rid of it.
Heck it has 236k miles on it, but it rides well and is extramly good off roading heck I pulled out a few of my friends out of mud that I made it through. it take big hills like its nothing. All of my friends love it they wanted to one for them selves. This body style is the best ever. The interior is roomy and seats are comfortable. the only problem I have with it is the expensive part.
