Rabid 1,936 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Oddly, I always thought they were crap, but the farm next door bought one as a farm run about, and it’s been bloody good, needs a decent tyre on it, but they have had it three yrs now, it’s never broken down, all the bits still work, it’s been abused and still does the job. its ok ish to drive, not too uncomfortable, better on fuel than my ranger, doesn’t knock or bang, changes gears ok, 4wd goes in and out no issues. What I don’t like is it feels a bit naff inside, you can just feel it’s a budget built motor, I wouldn’t want one as a replacement for mine, but for a farm motor for all and sundry to jump in and out off, drag god knows what round the fields, and generally not give a hoot about, it does the job just fine.

dytkos 17,528 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Fella who follows the hunt had ain Isuzu D max then bought a brand new Great Wall, had it 3 months then swopped it in for a Ranger. Said it was never right from day 1. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakk 6 Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Someone I used to work with bought one brand new, he got it home from the dealership and his kids said "Dad, are you having a fire?" he opened the front door to find it engulfed in flames. He took the handbrake off and rolled it into the lane and it burnt out before the fire crew could get there. On the flip side I know someone else who's had one from new too with crazy mileage on the clock, its been loved and abused in equal measure and its still going strong.

Pirate 9000 675 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 There was quite a few around me, local dealer about 20 miles away, don't see any around here now and dealer closed down says it all really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutch6 550 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Awful awful awful. Bought one with 13K on the clock. Horrifically failed it's MOT the next year and cost about £1.5 to put right. Had to have a new steering rack not long after. Back seat release failed. Wing mirror glass smashed and they don't do just the glass so wanted to charge me for a full wing mirror unit. Headlights burnt out. Had to take off the front of the vehicle to change the light bulb - £230. Failed the MOT again on all bushes and front suspension spring even though it had barely done any rough work. DPF failed to recycle and clogged up after a service. New DPF - £450 Sold it. Absolute dog sh!t vehicle. Save yourself tears and heartache, spend a bit more and buy an Isuzu. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 415 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Keep your pathfinder till can afford something better.
