Hello everybody, myself and wife brought a 2003 L200, and it's fantastic, we wouldn't part with it for love nor money. It's just great, even towing the caravan, best buy we ever made. I recommend anyone to have an L200. I've never had any problems at all.

We have one of these bought second hand on an 05 plate. 80000 on the clock, cost £5600, has cost £7000+ since in 2 years, due to crank shaft pulley coming loose twice, and then a radiator being blocked, two new engines and a head.
We stayed with the Mitsubishi dealership to keep the guarantee, two engines, new head, plus lots of little problems. The dealership said if I were you, I would get rid of it. I thought get all the problems sorted and keep it. It is so bad we send it in for check ups every 5000 miles.
The best one is that the dealership fitted a new engine, and with 1000 miles on it, the crank shaft pulley came loose again, and we had to have a new engine again, this one was free!
Now the vacuum pump has gone, so that is being fitted. When it goes, the brakes go, so that's fun.
All in all, the parts are expensive, the truck, well it is really nice inside the cab, so when you breakdown, at least you will be comfortable.
