I emailed you last year about the 2000 Isuzu Adventure 3.0 Turbo that we were "inheriting" with our house in Thailand. We now live in Khok Kloi (Phang Nga province) and, having driven the beast for a few months we know we must change it, as it feels like driving with the handbrake on and it yawls all over the road. Have you any recommendations on what to replace it with?

As insurance is a fair bit less for under 3.0-litre engines, we were thinking along the lines of a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2WD GT 2.5 or Toyota Fortuner 2WD 2.7V. Could you please give your opinion on these vehicles and are there any similar vehicles common in Thailand that you feel would be a better buy? We'll mostly be travelling on decent roads, not much off-roading, so don't feel that a 4WD is necessary.
