Isuzu Bighorn 3.1 TD 'Irmscher edition' LWB

Location: Wales - Welshpool
Sell Price: £1,200
Model: Volkswagen Golf     Year: 1993     Mileage: 114,330 miles

Description:

Looking to swap my 3.1TD Isuzu Bighorn (Japanese import - 2008)(AKA Trooper) Irmscher edition, Auto.

The car has done just under 184000KM, which equates to around 114330 miles. (Speedo still records distance in KM, but speed in MPH). For a car like this, and of this age, this is nothing! Especially for the engine. These cars are built like tanks, with engines to match.
They can also be run on 50%+ cooking oil mix and I have heard of people getting up to around 80%. This car has not been run on cooking oil.

Due to this car being imported from japan in 2008, it doesnt suffer the usual chassis rot that a lot of younger troopers do.
The chassis could do with being coated, if you wish, but I havent had a chance to do this.

The rear brake pads have just been replaced,
Oil was changed at 178000km,
Air filter was changed at 178000km,
Diesel system has been flushed through to clean it,
All 4 glow plugs were changed about 100miles ago, if that.
EGR system was blanked off by the previous owner - This improves efficiency and performance.

Car specs -

3.1TD engine,
Auto gearbox with working overdrive,
2wd, 4wd and 4wd low range options,
Front auto locking hubs,
Heated electric mirrors,
Headlight washers,
Digital climate control, with AC (will need regassing - I dont use ac so not bothered)
Stability control, on/off toggle,
Powerdrive mode, normal drive mode (powerdrive shifts up at higher revs)
MP3/CD/AUX/SD head unit, nice sounding front speakers,
Electric windows - All working,
Central locking,
Recaro interior with no tears,
Heated drivers seat,
All tyres have lots of tread left on them, they are AT ones.
Tow bar (I havent used it to tow)
Probably more I have forgotten.

I believe it may have had a body lift by a previous owner, but I cant be sure.

MOT runs out in september/october and the tax has just been renewed for 6 months.

Bad points -

Paintwork does have the odd chip and there is a scuff on the front bumper, but considering this car is 21 years old its in very good condition for its age. The chips are very small.

Kick down on the box is sensitive (not exactly a bad point), again I haven't bothered to do anything about this as it helps with economy. A light steady foot when accelerating.
---------------------------------------------------

If you're into 4x4 you'll know these are very capable vehicles. I really enjoy this car and dont want to get rid of it, but im looking for something more economical (I already have 2 other cars that are fuel drinkers) and im in desperate need of a diesel for long commuting!

This car also comes with some massive bullbars, at no extra cost. I took them off because I didnt like them.
