Hi all,

We've just found out our Trooper (2001 Citation) needs the injector and ceramic heater recall work doing. Problem is we live on Arran and will have to get the car over to the mainland to be sorted. What we are hoping is that the work can be done inside of a day, i.e. we drop it off around 11am and pick it up around 5pm ready for the ferry home. Can anyone give me an idea of how long the work takes on average?

Also, we've found a few Isuzu dealers in a 50 mile radius but does anyone know of a dealer in Ayr, Kilmarnock or Irvine, i.e. local to Ardrossan that would carry out the work and who you'd recommend?

Incidentally, Isuzu couldn't have been more helpful, very pleasant and reassuring on the phone.

Thanks for any help.

Regards, Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

Our injectors and sleeves took about 2 hours from start to finish. ceramic heater on our old trooper took about 20 minutes. Hope this helps a little.

It certainly does help! Once we are off the ferry, we are constantly watching the clock to make sure we have enough time to get back for the ferry home. This would make it feasable to organise in a day.

Many thanks for the help.

Could you explain your problem to them, i'm sure they will get it done rather than mess about keeping it overnight Smile

If you have to leave it overnight you never know you might get a courtesy car out of whoever does the work for you, Worth a try (I know it would be better same day)

Work gets done on 25th May (as long as the parts have arrived) and we get a courtesy car too Smile

Thanks for the advice everyone

Regards, Jeff.

I bet the courtesy car is a Subaru Laughing

Well, the recall work (Injectors/heater) was done yesterday and no problems.

A big thank you to S&S of Ayr for looking after us so well. They gave us a Subaru 3.0HL Legacy for the day to go off shopping and finished the Trooper bang on time to let me catch the ferry home, even gave her a wash and polish (I'd already done that in the morning Smile

)

No charge at all, I was so impressed I booked the Troop in for a full service +transmission fluids next month.

An even bigger thank you to ITOC an it's expert members, I would have been in the dark about any problems until the engine exploded, I honestly can't thank you lot enough.
