U.K. Owner needs help with head gaskets

[David Wiltshire]

Hi everyone you may remember me from the U.K. with the blue V.X. well I sold it some time ago and bought myself a Pajero Evolution for my sins.
Anyway the guy who bought my V.X. has a problem sourcing some parts and I thought well you guys will able to sort this little problem out I am awaiting a telephone call from him with the details so as soon as I hear from him I'll post back. Thinking about it is the japanese market models a different engine size?

I think somebody will post St. Charles Isuzu contact info shortly, I dont remember the number.

I dont see why the older Trooper 3.2 would be different. Might want to crossmatch engine codes.

yeah they are the 3.2L enegine, if i'm not wrong its the same as the 205Horse power Rodeo engine.

The engine there (6VD1 DOHC 3.2L) is the same as Opel/Vauxhall Frontera after 1998, so there should be no problem with parts in UK.

It's also the same engine as fitted in an Opel Monterey 3.2!

Thank you all very much, I will forward all the info to him.

Just confirming from sunny Somerset, UK, that the Trooper 3.2/ Monteray has the same engine- I have a LWB Trooper Citation 3.2 as well as a 2000 Vehicross in Foxfire red (which has just been advertised for sale due to ill health, sob)...
Only done 34000 miles since imported into UK brand new in 2000- worse still, I've only managed to add 600 miles towards that- how cruel can life get? :nog:
