clearly no point trying to reason with you. isuzu have had their share of carp engines over the years, as have toyota with cylender head issues and chassis and body rot. i have worked as a heavy plant fitter for 40 plus years, japenese pick ups are not the be all and end all. -
finish my 110 build on new galv chassis, bmw m57 diesel and 6 speed bmw manual gearbox , king cab and shortened hcpu body.

the sum of the parts make the product, as an example do you have any experience to speak of with the bmw engine and zf transmission? my son recently had a bmw 535d with just shy of 300000 miles on the clock, original engine and transmission, was still capable of anything asked of it. i guess you know better than the people putting up the money to build the grenadier. -

if you want a giggle go in to busseys in attleborough, incompatence doesn,t come close, they have not bothered keeping me updated, they have a pre production model in the showroom, almost had to fight to even sit in it.
