Does anyone know if Jackeroo World is still going

thanks for that... i will hunt elsewhere for the bits I need..sure is a weird way to run a busness

Yep all sorted... but not by Holden... took it to another mechanic and turned out to be some lables had been left in the water galeries during assembly & had of course come loose & had got stuck around the thermostat causing a restriction. I cant believe that Holden didnt even check the thermostat cause thats all this guy did... & presto a papier mache wad under it... has run fine ever since. Holden of course deny all knowledge....and pass it off to Isuzu.... but even I as an amateur suggested the thermosat or pump may have been faulty & was told that it was" not possible"..made me wonder about their servicing.. this dealer must have at least 500 mechanics working for him.. he services about 150 cars a day at an average of 2 hours each....

Hi Rick ... Just curious, what year is your Jack? That's one helluva unusual mistake for a japanese factory to make, so I'm wondering if your Jack is from Japan or one of the last ones from the Philippines.

2002.. and definatley made in japan....

I have got just under 60,000 km on mine at the moment. you have an interesting thought of going to an Isuzu dealer... but this morning I got an oil filter from a Holden dealer for $39!!!!! I normally quallify as a TPI veteran for gst exemption and the sales guy said he could not work out the gst and would I accept trade price... naturally I did. A big discount from the normal retail price around $70.... I'm wondering what it takes to get trade price on a regular basis... Maybe it's as simple as producing an order on a letterhead or asking for trade price... but now I know how come Jackeroo world could keep their prices down because even at trade price there would still be a margin in it for them.
