"The ideal all-purpose go-anywhere family/work vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing at all.

General comments?

The Chevrolet LUV is identical to the Isuzu pick-up and is available in right hand drive.

I am very happy with the the engine. It is an Isuzu turbo diesel unit and is very reliable with lots of torque. Acceleration isn't great though.

Room for five people and plenty of cargo space.

It is a very rugged and solid truck, and looks it too.

The handling can be rather choppy, but this is what you would expect from a 4-wheel drive pick-up. It is great off-road though.

Mine is well equipped with electric windows and mirrors, plus air conditioning.

The LUV is fairly crude for a newish vehicle, but it was designed as a workhorse. An added bonus is that it makes a great family vehicle too.

The perfect vehicle for rural England.

They still make these things!?

I thought they were discontinued like in the late 70s.

The LUV was replaced by the Chevy S-10 in N American market in early 80's, but it continued to be sold in European market, including the UK, where the reviewer lives.
