    From VX KAT yesterday

    Might be some help...

    Don't ask me how I get myself into these things....

    I bought a roof rack from a seller in Atlanta this week. Turns out she knew of a wrecked VX in a local junkyard, so she went & got some parts off it to sell here. VX had a front and driver's side impact. She also registered on the forum (Renatka55). Don't know condition of any of these...call Renata to get info: 678-907-4779

    ~Cladding EXCEPT front bumper, driver's front fender and driver's door (I think driver's rear fender OK)
    ~Center armrest - said it didn't have the common rips on top
    ~Passenger door regulator (not sure if that's the correct name)
    ~Rear cargo mat
    ~I think she got a few more bits, can't recall them tho
    ~She could go back and get other parts too

    She said she could ship cladding.

    I'm traveling to the UK at the beginning of July. If you locate one here in the States, I can bring it with me.

    Kat, that site is just a sort of 'let us know what you want and we'll see if any of our members have one' kinda site. I've tried them a few times and never had any luck. Always worth a try I guess though.

    I can see another problem in that the picture of the one available in the US is different from our JDM ones. At very best you'll need a pair, but it might be they just done fit or the wiring is wrong too??

    The only other help I can offer is try ringing Clive Goodridge. He has bought and sold lots of VX's in the past and has amassed quite a collection of parts. Dunno if he has one, but if not, he may have a suggestion.

    Good luck!

    Thanks Nick

    I have contacted Clive and he doesn't think he has one, but if he did he wouldn't be selling it as parts like these are gold dust over here.
    He also recommended looking on Ebay USA as he believes they are the same unit and that the wiring is the same, not that it should be a big job to re-wire the cluster if I needed to.
    Secondly he put me in contact with a UK Isuzu dealer that know what a Vehicross is, and as I type they are finding out how much a new unit from Japan would be? £££.pp

    So thanks Nick for pointing me in the right direction

    Will keep you posted

    No worries - glad to be of help.

    I was just flicking between your picture and the one on the link that Kat posted and they look different. The angles on th JDM one are much softer. I'm not sure the US one would actually fit. Maybe someone could post a picture similar to muddy's so we can compare better???

    If not, good luck on the official part - best be sitting down when they call you!

    Cheers

    Nick
