Gloop 5 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Check for head gasket I think' I had a 3 litre diesel, I will throw a "I think" in these as well. It was definitely a diesel And it was gas assisted which improved the economy and the acceleration by about 10%. Big and comfortable. It died and my local supposed 4x4 garage was an idiot and too expensive to contemplate fixing. Now have a good garage for servicing, If i had known then what I knew now I would have got a different garage to fix it probably at a fraction of the price. I liked it lots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shamus 36 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 the 3 l is not a patch on the 3.1. They have several faults, the main one being that the injectors leak diesel into the oil. Some have had reconned engines by isuzu. Bad ones seem to be a lost cause, endless trouble. Check out the trooper owners website, its all on there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
