I have a 2000 Isuzu Trooper 3.0 litre diesel jeep. It has stopped and won't
re-start. I have been told it may be low oil pressure. Can anyone give any
information as to how I may solve the problem?

Seems to be a chronic problem with these diesels, I've changed the
battery, had many services, still the same hassle, esp in winter.

Isuzu built these beauties until 2002.

Especially in winter? Maybe your diesel fuel is too thick? Might mix it
with some kerosine.
Or else the compression is not high enough? Then you might first throw in
a bit of engine oil in the cilinders so there's less air leaking away
during the compression stroke.

Wow, I'm an American, but I never realized Isuzu built ANY jeeps.
Troopers, Rodeos, Amigos, Jackaroos, P'ups, yes. But jeeps? I thought
they were built by American Motors, and eventually Daimler-Chrysler...

Outside the US "Jeep" is often used as a generic term for any 4x4
vehicle.
