I am starting to regret buying my trooper

So far in the 10 months I have owned it I have had

1x new clutch
1x complete exhaust (yes cat as well)
4 x new shocks
Rear disks and pads £1500

And then TPS £350
2 x Oil Pressure Switches £100 + fitting

and still it don't idle properly and local dealer cannot work it out - they have still got the truck and have a specialist turning up tomorrow to look at the system as now the revs drop to approx 400 rpm every so often at idle (and if it is warm weather this often results in a stall)

This is starting to break the bank now -almost tempted to part ex it for something else!

Gypsyfilly

You are correct in that most of my cost was wear and tear - just wish it hadn't happened in one go Sad

Here's waiting to see what happens

Eithan you out there ? Any suggestions as I know the garage are struggling?

what have they tried so far with it?

TimBanham · Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 20:30 Post subject:

TPS as that was throwing up an error code.

That made it much better but still there

This time replaced Oil Pressure Switch as it was giving dogdy readings occaisionally - that error has now gone

But still not right and they haven't given me details yet of what they have tried and too be fair appear to have spent a fair amount of effort on it so are waiting to see what this guy suggests as he hopefully will have more experience of Troopers - will see what he says and what it would cost me

hi peeps,

must say the cost of rear discs and pads seems very high...... i've been quoted £82 for new discs and pads from local motor factors surely it cant cost £1400 to fit.......he says panicking as i need to get the beast reshoed for the next mot........

cheers

Right they are trying a Map Sensor now? - but on a see if it makes any difference and if it doesn't take it off - That's all they can think of at the moment

air in the fuel? fuel lines rust on mark1 and 2.. vacume pipes with cracks or small wholes? this will all make the trooper run ruff
