1999 Isuzu Wizard review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good value 4WD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After about 10,000ks, the engine refused to respond to the accelerator. After much back a forth to servicing, the agents 2nd upgrade to injectors was done at my cost.
Since then one rear wheel seal kit. Regular oil and filter changes, but otherwise only service.
Eleven litres per hundred Ks normal average fuel consumption. Can be less than 10 on long runs lightly loaded.
General comments?
Wizard is used as a hack to tow boat trailer, 1.5 ton, and as a general run about
Still have my V8 Soarer after 11 years, great engine.
