    I'd keep looking for a good Bighorn. They do turn up.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Definitely a Bighorn is still in my list which looks like this at the moment:

    Bighorn/Older Mu (non poo motor)
    Terrano/Mistral
    Surff (less likely)
    Hilux Van (not likely)

    BTW I know Tommy likes the older TD27 - TD27Ti/TD27ETi Nissan Motor common in the Terrano/Mistral but are the ZD30DDTi or QD32ETi 3 or 3.2 liter ones common in some later ones any any good?

    My mechanic mate would be very unhappy if I bought a ZD30. Not as much as with the 4JX1 though.

    The Isuzu Wizard is a 5 dr 4x4 . More economical then the Bighorn though & Will go Anywhere they also have a Bigger Radiator or atleast my last one did compared to the Bighorn.
    There's a few for sale @ the moment on the Auto Trader site.
    Used Isuzu for Sale

    Good Luck.
