Faults:

The only problems I have had with my 54 plate Warrior, were 1 sticky brake caliper and broken leaf springs. Upgraded the springs, and all is good.

Turbo was on the way out when I bought it, but it's still going strong. Noisy, but good boost sometimes. I've had it for 3 years, and drive it like I stole it. And every single time I drive it, it always wants more.

If you can get a good one, then you can kick the crap out of it all the time, and that's what 4x4's are all about.

General Comments:

If you get a good one, it's one of the sturdiest motors out there.

Faults:

Second engine blew 137 miles.

Leaf springs changed 135k miles.

Exhaust changed 140k miles.

General Comments:

Not fit for purpose.

Drinks fuel excessively.

But it looks good.

Faults:

6 engine replacements to date.

Head gasket replaced.

Balancing shaft snapped around 60K miles.

Persistent overheating faults.

Cylinder head replaced at 64K miles.

Latest engine replaced at 60K miles.

Leaf springs replaced at 65k miles.

Now another probable engine fault and turbo fault at 65K miles.

General Comments:

The car is very good in snow. I have never towed anything.

Faults:

Engine threw a con rod and No.4 piston is wrecked at not quite 72,000, despite regular servicing and recent MOT. This appears to be a common problem in 1999-2006 L200 engines that have done between 65,000 and 90,000 miles. If you have one, sell now or take out an extended warranty.

General Comments:

Car was fine for what I wanted as I live in a rural area, have two kids, a dog, and occasionally tow a horse box and go off road.

Faults:

Required new cylinder head gasket at 30,000 miles.

Required new rear leaf spring at 40,000 miles.

Required new engine at 45,000 miles.

Required new clutch at 50,000 miles.

General Comments:

The car was bought new from the main dealer and serviced at the same dealers throughout.

My head gasket blew at just over 30,000 miles. The car was still under warranty so Mitsubishi paid for the repairs, although they would not pay for the courtesy car they loaned me from Hertz. I was left with a £350 bill that they refused to pay because the dealer should have repaired the vehicle quicker.

I noticed the car started to over heat again at 45,000 miles, two weeks before the warranty expired, it was diagnosed as requiring a new engine, this was done under warranty.

They extended the manufacturers warranty for an extra year due to the problems I had experienced, however during this time it required a complete new clutch and they would not cover this work, so I had to pay almost £1000.

The warranty expired in March 08, but I did not extend due to the clutch issue and guess what... it is overheating again and looking like the cylinder head has gone again.

The car has not yet done 60,000 miles. Keep away from these cars, I will never buy another Mitsubishi ever again.

Faults:

This car looks OK.

I had number 4 big end break up; trashed the crank, smashed the head, to say I was in tears was not far wrong. What do you do a 2004 L200, with a knackered engine, not worth rebuilding yourself, costs too much.

I bit the bullet and forked out two grand for a reconditioned engine; runs OK, but the oil light comes on when ticking over. I've changed the switch and oil twice.

The next stage is the engine builders. I wish I had never set eyes on this car. This car had a oil change every 4k miles.

General Comments:

Big end problems.

Faults:

Wheels corroded after 20000 had them changed under warranty. now cylinder head cracked 3.4 months from new and only 55000 miles.

General Comments:

This vehicle has done no work. not towed or carried any real weight. I am absolutely gutted by the attitude of Mitsubihi coly that they won't admit liability. serviced as per book. never buy one again.
