There are no particularly bad things on a H2 that are subject to excessive wear under normal conditions.
Test drive and listen for clunks in the driveline when you pull away, and clunks when turning sharp or reversing. While easily fixable, it will give you some indication of well the vehicles been cared for mechanically.
There isn't anything in particular that will wrong with an H2 that wouldn't go wrong on another vehicle.Transation:
The H2 is cool and worry free if you don't drive it like like some of the nuts on this board.
Drive the damn thing and if it sounds like crap when you gag it or yank it then think about another one unless it's under warranty. It should be covered.
The H2 breaks just as often as regular GM trucks.

Are you thinking about buying an H2?
Let me tell my experience:
Yes. It makes more noise that just about any other vehicle I have ever owned.
Yes. I am constantly working on and/or modifying my H2.
Yes. I have broken the suspension several times (and wonder about other components regularly).
Yes. This is the first vehicle that I bought new and had a leaking problem, (fixed as of today).
Yes. I have spent more money on accessories after purchase on this vehicle than any other (including my Harley).
YES!! I love this vehicle more than - any other I have owned; that costed more money, spent less time working on, had less maintenance proplems, and bought less accessories for.
Yes, I have driven My H2 harder that any other vehicle I have ever owned.
Why do I love it? IT IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE!!! Thanks HUMMER!!

There's a few, but we all left England so our kids would get a proper education, and learn how to write ;) :D
There are actually a few on here that still live in England.
Have you looked at the schools you moved them to...TX :confused::D;)

I have a buddy in Grantham (I spell that right?) and he knows a guy there with a black H2. I can get you too in contact if you wish.

folks, any man with an H2 in England should be acknowledged as possessing of exceptional 'nads. gas is nearly 3x the price over there, i believe...
but the up-side would be they are probably really rare, making the fun more than worth the nickel for gas...

Man, I didn't realize there was so much resentment from people coming from the colonies. There is no shame in being conquered and ruled by the English, it happened to lot's of people ;) :DNo resentment. We've been free from the tyranny for a couple hundred years.:D
BTW, how's Texas?:p :p
