    Update to the saga is the vehicle has now been taken to a main isuzu dealer and awaits assessment the car has not run for four months plus now and the garages insurance is picking up the costs
    Not sure if they will write it off or stand the cost of new engine etc

    Thumbs up Head gasket problems

    Well there is a happy ending to this one after all the hassle
    Isuzu main dealers discovered a multitude of rebuild mistakes
    Timing incorrect cams incorrectly installed kinks in the fuel line etc
    After 1 full week and a huge bill later (payed by the garage who cocked it up) the car has been brought back to life would have had it this week if lambda sensor had not have caused a engine management light to appear on the dash due to a adjustable fuel regulator that they had fitted because they destroyed the original.
    So hopefully now i can enjoy the car at long last.

    Now, that's the kind of ending I like to hear.

    BTW, I noticed you are from the great state of Utah. Are you going to head to ZuzU this year in Moab and REALLY enjoy your VX?

    Hope to see you there.

    Peace.
