budgie123 163 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Could you give a little more information about your experiences of reliability of the iszuzu cost of any repairs and mpg I currently have a ford ranger which has been reliable apart from re occurring egr valve issue which mechanic says is the most common fault on all vehicles by far. Just had it stripped cleaned and refitted. Currently getting about 30 mpg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I would stay well clear of Isuzu dmax just got rid of mine biggest pile of shit I have ever had, got Toyota hylux far better truck. What was wrong with it, the dmax is one of the next ones I have been considering early next year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate 9000 676 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Clutch went 18000 door locks 20000 ignition 25000 the pile of shit would not start on and off up to 50000,bit of luck got nicked at 53000 made my day good riddance to bad rubbish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
budgie123 163 Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 I have a 2007 2.5tdci. It had 114000 on when i baught it and apart from egr valve has been no issue pulls quad up to dales like its not there and a comfy ride. looking to blank egr as has been mentioned more trouble than its worth putting on the warning light which without taking it to garage you do not know that. I think every one would agree the hilux is possibly the best in class but the second hand value is just too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
