Default Need to get a 4x4 inspected before purchase

I'm about to buy an imported 1995 3.1D Isuzu Trooper. Can anyone recommend a
good independent in the Melton Mowbray or Boston area who could check it out
this week?

Cheers

Don't. The Isuzu 3.1 is not exactly the most reliable engine in the world.

The 3.1s are magic when they're running well (and better than the
earlier engines), but once they start to wear they are an utter disaster.
