Isuzu SA is keen on deepening roots locally by offering a wider more extensive range for both entry level work horses and upmarket higher LX range that is offered on the Regular, Extended and Crew Cab. The idea to offer more on the LX Models especially on the lifestyle Crew Cab range.

The D-max brings in a fresh look and feel to the much loved Isuzu range, starting with design aesthetics from the iconic front grille adding a chrome finish and lights re-design to reflect a muscular appearance and adding a BI-LED with LED Driving lights.

Inside the bakkie every detail is taken into account to please the eye starting with the D-max logo on the Utility box, smooth grain design, piano styled finish on air vent grilles and window stitches. Chrome finish on door handles, air vent and locking controls as well upgrade to the Infotainment system.

The D-max includes performance upgrades on the LX models changing from a 5 speed to a 6 Speed optimised, more powerful and fuel efficient consumption conscious gearbox. The Automatic gearbox defines smooth, refined shifting with fantastic response.

More focus on safety for the D-Max models with a new feature on the LX models, Brake override System (BOS) effectively assisting in emergency stopping. Another feature is the Trailer Sway control (TSC) in conjunction with the Electronic Stability Control making those holidays trips safer without reducing on the already impressive safety features.

Food Collection For The SPCA

By

CMH Isuzu East Rand- SHADOW-COLLECTING-FOR-SPCA1

CMH Isuzu East Rand recently held a food collection for the Boksburg SPCA, as part of our Mandela Day Initiative.

Our original goal was to fill the bin of an Isuzu Double Cab, but soon enough we had to transfer everything to an Extended Cab, as the bin of the Double Cab just wasn’t big enough.

We were able to deliver wet and dry dog and cat food, blankets, toys and treats to Maggie Mudd, the manager of the Boksburg SPCA. They were most grateful and gave us a quick tour of their premises.

All the dogs and cats at the SPCA were in good health and well cared for. The kennels were clean and dry, and all the animals had jerseys on to protect from the cold.

Maggie has been working in animal welfare for 30 years and says if people would only sterilize their pets, there would be less strays and abandoned animals. The SPCA assists with sterilization at a reduced price.

If you are interested in adopting any of their animals, the adoption costs are R900 for a dog and R650 for cat. This fee includes sterilization, vaccination and microchipping of the animal.

If you are interested in donating to the SPCA, Maggie says puppy food is the most needed item. They have many puppies with them, and the puppies eat more often than the adult dogs.

CMH Isuzu East Rand will be holding regular collections for the SPCA, so keep your eye on our Facebook page.

A very big thank you must go the staff and management of CMH East Rand for their contributions, our Isuzu Specialists for driving the initiative and also to our customers SRT Electrical Wholesalers, SWS Security and Atall Mining and Cecile Gouws for their contributions to our collection.

Isuzu Mandela Day – 67 Minutes

By

“There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.” – Nelson Mandela

On the 18th July 2018 Northwood School hosted a Mandela Day programme and fundraiser with sponsors donating Hamper packs as well as a host of activities at the school with all proceeds going towards the Domino Foundation. CMH Isuzu Umhlanga alongside CMH Opel Umhlanga took the initiative to take part and make a change this Mandela Day.

The Domino Foundation is a feeding scheme and social uplifting organisation who have been involved in numerous programmes resulting in 1193209 meals being delivered. The members were in full force behind the momentous day, collecting hampers and organising a day of activities, fun and giving in conjunction with Northwood School in Durban North.

Many companies, parents and individuals came through to participate as well as take part in the highlight of the day when CMH Isuzu Umhlanga handed over the keys to a brand-new Isuzu Kb 250 bakkie sponsored by the CMH Group for the foundation to use and service their needs. This was our way of giving back and a great way to celebrate Mandela’s legacy by helping those that help others who are less privileged.

It was a rewarding day that promises to follow up with more initiatives and continue giving back to the community which supports us.

Contributing To The SPCA

By

The 18th of July may be Mandela Day, but at CMH Isuzu East Rand, we are making it Mandela Month. A month of giving back to the local community.

CMH Isuzu East Rand decided to support the Boksburg SPCA, by collecting food and blankets for all the animals in their care.

Our goal was initially to fill the back of an Isuzu bakkie with your contributions and we have been quite successful thus far.

From one little tin of dog food, we have now filled an Isuzu extended cab with food, blankets, toys and treats for the dogs and cats at the Boksburg SPCA.

The Boksburg SPCA not only takes in and cares for abandoned, stray, lost or abused animals, but they also pro-actively investigate complaints of animal cruelty, inspect businesses that use animals and are present at religious or cultural events where animal sacrifices are made, to ensure that they are done in a humane way.

We share our planet with a variety of animal species, and humans have taken to mistreating them. The SPCA does everything it can to assist in minimizing this abuse and assist in the rehabilitation of animals that have been abused.

Help us make a meaningful contribution, pop into our Isuzu show room on North Rand Road and drop off a tin of dog or cat food or a blanket ……Let’s see if we can beat our initial target and make it 2 Isuzu bakkies!

Fuel Saving Tips

By

With a recent increase in fuel price following an increase in April it seems we might be facing another increase in June. This is all due to Vat adjustments, rising costs, Fuel levy tax to accommodate the Road Accident Fund increase.

So here are a few fuel saving tips to get the most out of your buck when it counts.

  1. Roadworthiness – Get your car checked up by an AA approved workshop like ours and they will do a comprehensive check on the electrics and mechanical of the car which if faulty generally affects fuel consumption. All car manufactures ensure that vehicles maintain optimum fuel efficiency.

  2. Tyres play a major role in fuel consumption, ensuring you have good tyres that is wearing evenly and running smooth will determine if the car gets to factory consumption figures. Wheel balancing and alignment is equally important if either one is not correct the car will not be running smoothly.
  3. Braking system may not seem to affect fuel but if you have worn brake pads and discs that is causing a shudder it will automatically affect the easy flow of the vehicle resulting in high brake force and increased acceleration.

  4. Servicing on time may just seem like tedious task but with online service application’s it has never been easier and most vehicles have an indicator when it is due. Doing your service on time regulates part’s that increase fuel consumption as they wear Eg. Fuel filters, air filters and oil filters.
  5. Coasting does seem like a great way to save fuel and was the an effective way on the older model’s which did not have fuel injection, newer vehicles only release fuel when accelerating so it’s better to coast in gear rather than in neutral selection.

There are many other ways to save fuel that does not involve the vehicles smooth running like carpooling or ride sharing, not using the Aircon all the time and lowering the load on all non-essentials in the vehicle like big bags. Most cars that have a turbo which effectively recycles energy lowering fuel consumption and increasing power. Pop into CMH Umhlanga for a 50 point check service or to view our wide range of Fuel Saving vehicles.
