Mitsubishi L200 - Any good?

[dave mountain]

I'm tempted to chuck my second Sunday car for another Worrier

if you dont need it right now it would be far better to order something brand new for similar or less money, that does rule out mitsubishi though

What's the backup situation with Mitsubishi now? We have one and would have another in a flash but there was some bloke in the market yesterday ranting that body panels aren't available and warranty claims aren't being sorted. I don't know the bloke so he could be a window licking loon,so anybody know?

They had a whole lot of head gasket failures around the time that was built and for a couple of years prior, possibly longer. The failed engines were sent away to a specialist to be repaired rather than new engines being fitted, even under warranty. They sorted the issue, supposedly, when the five year warranty was introduced. Check the warranty on that one but I'm fairly sure it will have the three year one. It's worth finding out for sure. Check its service history to see whether the engine has been rebuilt.

Do you know what year they introduced the 5yr warranty?

Do you know what year they introduced the 5yr warranty?

When the series 5 came out with a new engine? 65 plate I believe
