Getting anything from overseas is a disaster at the moment, and Isuzu will be caught up in it like everyone else. Regards Tim from Tassie. Driving with a cross wind is a constant battle against steering feedback. Roof racks; are you overloaded? The clutch is an interesting one, because it falls under the wear and tear category. Have recently had installed an Alphatech Superstorm piggyback computer to the ECU, including dyno tune. Im almost persuaded especially as it has the canopy already. Ive towed a A-Van Aspire 499 (H/T), and while it is a light-weight unit, I always new it was on the back of the car, however I was never in a hurry to get to where I was going. Also check to see if the drop centerlink has an forward or backward play. The front can only flex through it's design range anyway. EDIT this has stopped leaking, is still full and will be monitored. I wouldnt mind so much if I didnt depend on my vehicle for work and for the long weekend trips into Central NSW to visit family. These are being replaced under warranty, but it takes time and means you are without a car for a while, and some people are on their third or fourth turbos! They then said the car has too many modifications including lockers (their words) and that Pedders re-manufactured my vechicle and to take it up with them. Hi Aaron Sorry if that upsets you. I keep GVM 400kg down from maximum of 3600kg. (Kryptonite No Fine Print Lifetime Warranty)-Kryptonite steering and suspension components are warrantied for life to their original purchaser. The large majority of owners are very happy, and we fall into this category for the most part too. If you have had DPF issues, Bannister Law is looking into it! Dmax are a rubbish car as you have just pointed out in this article. What has Isuzu had to say about it? I feel like that is the source (and hope). I attached long evap pipe for aircon to firewall with clamp to try and avoid evap failure from cracking. cab mounts were replaced every 40 000kms. That sucks mate. Being the SX version (base model) our Dmax has a similar interior to that of a 15 year old vehicle, and thats OK with me. Ive been on various Facebook pages of different makes and models, and the Isuzu 4WD pages seems to have very, very little issues overall. also my handsfree is fine, i have heard people complain about it but i have never had that problem in a lsu, i am beginning to think its the different unit in the sx that is the issue here.
