Faults:

Handbrake performance poor - awaiting further investigation.

Reversing Lights stopped working, sticking switch on gearbox.

Glovebox wouldn't open - easily sorted as hinge pin came loose.

Creaks from plastic trim, re-securing usually solves that..

Cold starts were a problem until Glow plugs checked and replaced (common fault on any diesel vehicle)

General Comments:

Overall this vehicle is outstanding value for money secondhand. If bought wisely and at the right price, a bargain 4x4 can be found. Reliability is built in from new, thanks to the input from Mercedes. Build quality is a poorer aspect, but at least it doesn't fall to pieces. Well equipped 4x4's don't usually come at this price - they seem to love gadgets in Korea!! The interior space is amazing, with plenty of storage where you need it, apart from tiny door pockets? The seats are very comfy, and it is a pleasure to drive long distance. The driving is effortless thanks to power steering and a good gearbox, which allows the 2.9ltr diesel to haul it along at speed on a motorway (indeed in excess of the legal limit for most of it if you don't watch your speedo!!)

Spares availability is a case of knowing where to source them from, but main dealers back-up depends on where you live.

Faults:

None so far.

General Comments:

Solid heavy machine, performance lacking on non turbo models, but will cruise comfortably at motorway speeds.

Handling very precise due to rack and pinion steering rather than the usual 4WD re-circulating ball mechanism.

Fitted with all the electrical toys you could want as standard.

Limited off road ability due to large overhangs, but otherwise solid.

Faults:

Locks not working - fixed them myself.

Rear wiper motor gave up (again, I fixed it myself).

Nothing else wrong.

General Comments:

The seats are a little uncomfortable on long journeys.

Mine is the 2.9 diesel auto. It's a bit slow maybe, but it looks good, and I will never sell it.

For road use, it drives like a car, except when you get to a hill (needs a turbo).

Inside it's big, very big, which is refreshing after years of driving a normal car.

It's a little on the juicy side, but then it is a 2.9 litre.

Faults:

Vacuum idle system not compensating for load.

Leaking Rocker Cover Gasket.

General Comments:

My Musso has had a retro fit Turbo and Intercooler, the first mod any owner of a 2.9 Musso should make. It makes the car pull better than my old 1.8TD Mondeo. I still return about 25mpg around town and 34ish on runs.

The interior is bland, but functional, however, there are gadgets like speed sensitive intermittent wipe and air con.

Looks are odd, but for the price you can't grumble, for £5000 I have got a 4x4 that can tow two horses in a trailer no problem, for less than half the price of a Trooper.
