if you'd seen the issues i've seen with 3.1 troopers you wouldn't mock, though i loved the old 2.8! :thumbs
dont know why i only hear good things about the 3.1
but the 3.0 is a different story lol
not alot to go wrong with the 3.1 being a pushy
The 3.0 was so atrotious i gave up on Isuzu at that and never bought one, the 2.8 was excellent! The 3.1 i found underpowered and disapointing. The lotus suspension pulled it back a bit, but - big, slow and handled like a boat + i've seen and had some 'issues' with them. I much prefer my T2s for the things i do, but each to there own:thumb2.
We had one 2.8 (j Plate) that did the best part of 50 mpg! amazing!
the 2.8 was a great lump :thumbs
the 3.0 was a time bomb from injector problems to electrical was a night mare
surprised you found the 3.1 sluggish its quicker than the t2 and has more power and torq, boat handling well it it rather large lol
i have to admit the handling pack from lotus does make it stick to the road havnt lost the back end yet :thumbs
altho it makes it a bit harder to play off road, the t2 was a good motor but a little basic interior wise, i find the horn a much nice place to sit :thumb2
will it cost inxs of £750 to fix the dirty frog - me thinks not
you may be buying a pile of trouble.
better a devil u know and all that
