as i said i have done nothing but find out about probs with 3.0 . the thing i need to no is it inherent? or does this prob just occour when ever. we are going to court over our car, and would be better for us if the probs with the car were inherent Evil or Very Mad

The problem is not inherent.
Many vehicles run without a problem, therefore not inherent. Outside factors increase probability of occurence. i.e no service campaign work carried out, poor/incorrect maintenance.

id say it was inherant if isuzu have put there hands up and admitted theres a fault ie there paying for replacement of faulty parts

it is inherent as isuzu issued a total recal on all 3.0ltr. if it was not a systemic fault with the engine then they would not issue a full scale recal!

hi sorry, our engine blew up at 37,000 miles on the clock, had only had the car 4 months Crying or Very sad

we had to pay total cost of a new engine, only then we found out it was an import Embarassed

we are going to court over sale of goods act! from the dealer, if it was to be proved the prob was inherent with the 3.0 troopers we would have a better chance of winning our fight, and maybe get some hard earned money back, Razz

Ours had full service history, with all work done at the Dealer we bought it from, and was up to date on the campaign work when it went bang at 118,000 miles.

so what are you saying, it could happen at any point?. you were lucky you got your repair. we payed 15,000 for the car, then 9,000 for the repair work, so i hope you can see why we are so upset over this. Evil or Very Mad

jackie,

Sorry if I am asking the stupid question, but as IM.seem to have done an about turn on their attitude to the 4JX1 injector problem, even with imports, I assume you have approached them ? and what was their response?

hi
isuzu europe have now put our car on reall list, and witing for parts from japan! that was after a few phoncalls, but they are saying the prob is not inherent Laughing

i tend to disagree, even more so after finding this brill website.this is our third isuzu , and wished i had kept the L reg, which ran and ran, 3.1 never had better than that Crying or Very sad

Jackie,

Apologies for being dense but I am still not clear........

1. did the motor self-distruct , through the rising sump oil/diesel fault?

2. If so why are IM not accepting the consequential cost , like they have with others posting here?

3. you say you are now on the recall list. For what? a new engine? injector parts? or what. Despite some garages claiming injector recall parts take time, others say there is no problem.

Please add a little to explain your situation.

hi
yes , thats exactly what happened to question one!, but ours happened 3 years ago Embarassed

and isuzu didnt want to know about it, thats also when we found out it wasnt a uk car,from isuzu uk.
the recall work is for injector parts, or so im told by isuzu europe, and like i said before , they are waiting on parts from japan Idea

.
isuzu europe are saying the fault is not inherent! i tend to disagree with this, but as per usual we need to prove this?
our car had done 37,000 miles when it went bang!, and the dealer didnt want to know, we had only had it 4months, but if we can find out this engine thing! is inherent we would have a good case.
hope i have explained my self a bit better Embarassed
