Trooper 3.0L TD Bighorn (Import), Auto, registered 2000, 96K miles.

Broke down on friday leaving large oil sump on a slip road off the M27!  Dealers suggest "based on oil leak it's most probably" the gearbox and quoted a large fee to repair.  Other options are to carry our a refurb but risk as not sure yet if repairable until investigations are done and outlay likely £1500.

Shame since the engine was rebult last February after overruning and I managed to get Isuzu Japan to stump up the costs based on me not having the IZ 17 recall done.  In addition the very fortunate timing of the press coverage about Toyota recalls may have helped swing their decision!

Anyway have to think if the expense of the work is now worth it ? Had the vehicle nealry 4 years and has been fairly reliable until lately.

Looking for some guidance from the other forum members a newbie member - should I fix and then decide what to do or just offer it directly for breaking ?

Help ?
