Hello

Just thought I would post this as it has slighty annoyed me recently, I had and accident in my rodeo, rear ending a lorry at 15mhp, the damage was not to bad bonnet bent grill distroyed radiator cracked and a few brackets bent, Once it got to the local body shop they found the engine wiring loom had been cut and damaged.

That was 1.5 weeks ago my truck has been repaired painted and is nearly ready except the wiring loom which on thursday had still not arrived. So i rang Isuzu Uk and spoke to parts depatment they told me it takes 4-5 weeks to get a new loom. Needless to say I am getting cheesed of driving a Chev Matiz instead of my rodeo, I dont think this is accpetabel so have written to isuzu explaing this and I have emailed Isuzu japan. Also who runs a wiring loom round front of engine even with a small prang that i had the loom got cut. So be prepared for a long wait for the loom.

Justa word of warning.

You've chosen to buy a foreign car and damaged a very low volume item. Confused

Can't see why you're so shocked at the waiting time for the part.

One suggestion - Rather than ranting be constructive - offer to pay the extra for priority airmail and your dealer may get the loom faster.

& don't prang the Matiz because I had a similar problem getting spare parts for my old Daewoo! Laughing

you also need to change your insurance so that you get a comparable loan car while yours is being fixed Very Happy

when i had a small front end bump the body shop took the wing off and cut the wiring to my washer motor when they took the washer bottle out as it was damaged so when i got it back i had no washers ,, so i said to the body shop about it and they said it needed a new loom so i rang the NFU and told them i would fix it ,i found a wiring plug on a toyota which was the same as the one on my pump and cut it off the scrap toyota and then jointed it on to my loom and now you can not tell it is repaired and the NFU payed me for doing the repair and other things the body shop w-----s mist doing
