Elsewhere on this brilliant forum I found this comment :-

"The LS and RS was not used on UK vehicles according to several dealers I spoke to when looking to buy.
They all said if it has an LS/RS badge keep clear, its not an IM import."


I can add to that. I very recently bought an '02 Trooper Duty SWB RS.
The RS badges are on the B-pillars and are clearly made by the same firm that manufactured the badges on the rear end.
By pure coincidence I brought the vehicle back from 100 miles away and discovered it had been sold new locally.
Visited the firm and spoke to the original salesman.
In '02 they were buying new "parallel imports" (NOT grey imports) from both Cyprus and Eire.
Badged as RS version and in fact it seems to be the same as the Citation spec.

I then checked the VIN with IM via the current Isuzu dealer and they very rapidly confirmed it as
having come from Cyprus BUT much more importantly it had been sorted under the two major recalls for injectors and tps harness by Isuzu/IM.

So - no reason at all to "keep clear" of parallel imports.
