Recommended Posts

Hey folks I have been offered a 2004 Isuzu 3.0 Rodeo for £1400. The owner is a reputable farm machinery dealer and ifor rep so it's probably done a fair amount of towing. He lost the ifor franchise so parked the Isuzu up and its sat at the back of his yard for the past year. Its a bit battered round the back end but the front end and doors look good, not sure of the miles but he said it ran perfectly and has never had a spanner near it. Now here in Northern Ireland vehicles are more expensive than on the UK mainland so with that in mind can anyone tell me if the price is good, bad, or fair (based on average mileage) and if anyone has owned one what to look out for?

I'm not sure the 3.0 in the rodeo is the same as the trooper(the one with the reputation)is it?

For that price if you like it and it's got or can get a decent length mot I don't think you can lose really.

 

The 3L twin cam in the Rodeo suffered from cracking between the valves (A local main dealer had a yard full of broken rodeos for a while, all requiring new heads). The 3L single cam is fine (4JH1-TC engine).

 

The 3L trooper had overheating on No. 4 Cylinder? Which I understand caused seizure. I'm not entirely sure, I didn't have one.

 

To be fair at that purchase price even if this Rodeo had a dead engine it would be fine.
