In our volunteer organisation (link below) we have an Isuzu Trooper Skyroof
that is the local made model similar to the Isuzu Bighorn in other countries.

From the VIN the car is made in the Phils
VIN PABUBR73GL320 plus 3 more numbers which I omit here due to internet.
PA = Philippines.
Engine is a diesel, within about 5 years already the third exchange of all 4 injectors for the diesel.
I have brought back a old set to Japan, they are made by Denso.
We have checked regarding the parts for Isuzu with various sources. But here in Japan there is no service for remanufacturing of such injectors against return of the old cores. In Japan they only sell new ones.
Here is the list up of prices we got:
new complete injectors with small items as a full kit of 4 pieces/car, price Yen 230.000. = 230 US$ approx
Nozzles only : PER piece Yen 26.500 = unit price.

Did you hear of any recall in the Philippines by Isuzu?
From the German Opel forum, which use also Isuzu diesel engines as they belong both to GM, I have read that there was a recall from Isuzu Germany.
For the Trooper 3.0td, fabrication fault by the maker of the injectors.
Do you know of a similar recall in the Phils? Not sure if in the German version of the Trooper the same injectors are used.

Thanks for any info.
