    most expensive pile of rubbish i have ever had the displeasure of owning. In the year i have owned it i have had: 3 new waterpumps and thermostats, 4wd sensor, broken leaf spring, head gasket, water hose split, turbo waste-gate linkage fell off, power steering belt come off (although that was due to some incompetent mechanics) and an alternator. Not bad for a car with 75000 on the clock. Had a hilux before this and i now wish i hadnt changed it. that had 127000 on the clock, 1996 model i owned ...

    I cant complain about this car.
    It has been totally reliable since the day I bought it, only a few problems, but then again all cars suffer from a bit of wear and tear, and you can't expect nothing to ever go wrong with a car.
    I can fit everything i need into it, which is perfect after I have gone shopping, as I can fit all the bags in, plus the pushchair and still have a load of room left.
    I suppose I am quite lucky as my other half is a mechanic, so if any problems do go wrong, it is easily fi ...

    i have owned my pick up for 4 years in that time i have done about 100,000 miles in it. i have had it serviced every 4500 miles. the only thing which have gone are starter motor(i stop and start in the pick up loads of times a day with my work), set of new springs on the back and i had a new clucth put on.

    its a 51 plate i intend keeping it until nits dead.

    i think it is better than a hilux same age as they are poor at towing are very slow and cost two much.

    The Mitsubishi L200 2.5TD Double Cab Pick-up is a pile of rubbish! The engine failed 06/09, North City Autos 'repaired' it at a cost of £797.07, driving to Cornwall early August, the vehicle broke down again, had to be towed to a Mitsubishi garage in Plymouth, the engine is completely useless! Mitsubishi do not want to know, I am desperately trying to find a replacement engine just to get the vehicle back on the road to sell it - its impossible. The L200 has an inherent problem with its en ...

    Major problems with bottom ends going. It happened to me at 60k 4 yrs old, well renowned for this. No warning, starts by small oil leak.
    This 2.5 mitsubishi has a serious fault and should have been recalled. I had my l200 warrior for 5 months the bottom end went and left me stranded on M4.

    Purchased Mitsubishi L200 2.5TD from main dealer fsh needed new engine mitsi wanted 4k.

    My mechanic deals in cars and says the l200 is always being pushed into the auction houses with engine trouble, can cos ...

    The full review contains all the problems. I bought a Mitsubishi L200 53 reg. in June 2008 for £6000 second hand, which is a very good price. This car was recommended by a roadside mechanic- he was wrong. The first problem i noticed was the rear windows, they take a great effort to close; they keep going back down again. Eventually, i had to use force! Secondly, I was driving on the motorway at about 85mph, and a warning light appeared, 'Economic control unit'. This is where the engine ...

    Have had my Mitsubishi L200 for 4 months now and have found a friend on four wheels. I use it to commute on motorway and in standing town traffic with great fuel consumption figures of 30 mpg with ease. We have used it for our caravan holidays towing a 1200 kg van and have found that out of all the 4x4's we've owned this has been the best tug, its so solid even in strong winds. This truck pulls and pulls as if its eager to please and will pull right through to 100 mph with ease :-)

    You have to remember that this is a 3 tonne pick-up that you can fit up to five people in.Its a 4x4 made for going off road but also works well on the road, so best of both worlds.In the end it's the best looking double cab up to 2005 in my opinion. Go buy a used one with anything up to 100,000 miles on the clock and enjoy it. Just make sure its been looked after and the oil was changed regularly, it is a turbo after all.Being a diesel with the right care and attention like everything it should ...

    I have had a Hilux and Navara and Pajero and a disco but my 2005 warrior beats them all but the Hilux was a bit better on fuel but the warrior is sill the best truck over all but like all trucks you need to buy it new or buy one which has not been used by a builder or some one like that as you will have problems as they will kill the truck and trade it in and the dealer will clean it up and sale it to you and that is where you will get all the problems and that ' s with all trucks so check the h ...

    I no longer have my l200 had everything done to it by the book injectors, turbo, injection pump, actuator, egr, filters, fuel lines cleaned and the rest? The garage that done all this work was beat my l200 was still holding back pouring out smoke this is by far the worst vehicle I have ever had in my life.

    Brought mine two months ago, second hand on 53 plate. Head gasket just gone at 42000 miles. Been told by a Mitsubishi engineer that they can fix head gasket for £1200, but within six months the engine will push rod outside though the casing. Which means it will need new engine. The mechanic says its a common fault and has changed 75 engines in last twelve months. New engine cost £7000. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Poor suspension very expensive repair costs unreliable anybody who repairs them seem to need two or three attempts to fix problems.
