    Wow, been waiting a long time for that post. Congrats brother. O2 sensor is no big deal...you won't become a Car-B-Q. Might not have had an O2 wrench, and cut them...then did a crap job of rejoining them...heat, rain etc. Really bad excuse...but I've certainly seen techs do dumber stuff. Again welcome back to the world of the living.

    awesome! glad to hear you got it back... very strange about the o2 sensor... buddy of mine had his front radiator support replaced a couople years ago.. got his car back and they had cut the wires to the electric fan... who knows why people do things


    p.s. the magnet bra is holding up great... i emailed bob the other day.. email got bounced back to me saying his inbox was full.. but he still replied a couple of days later so i dunno if that was just a mistake or what.. but if you cant get ahold of him for whatever reason let me know, ive got a second bra in the box i would consider selling (still undecided but pm me and we'll talk if you can't get one from bob)

    Welcome back to the living Indy.

    I thought I was going through withdrawals with my Proton down for the better part of 2 months with bad CVs. Life's great when you're driving a VX.

    well, in what i hope is the last installment of this ordeal, i think its REALLY over.
    i just got back from the isuzu dealer with my new factory cats installed, so new, they still stink! (gotta burn off for a bit) but they are on there. the dealer also put new 02 sensors, and some gaskets as well.

    ALL UNDER WARRANTY




    also, this past weekend, took a road trip and got 360 miles on a fill up.
    it was pretty much all highway with ac running, going about 65. and at that time only one cat was replaced, so now with both on there, maybe it will get a little better even.

    and so, dave, and his beloved vx lived happily ever after.......

    also, just to give some more cudos to the guys at bob rhorman isuzu, great bunch, good work, and great to work with. thanks especially to Jim, the service manager. also he told me that there had been 2 other vx's stop in there for work in the month that he had mine. he said one was set up for some "major offroading"! so i gave him some cards to hand out to fellow vxr's.

    Great to hear Dave. It's just too bad having a VX serviced has to turn into such an ordeal for some owners. Welcome back to the road.
