I bought my warrior 2009 with 49,000 miles on the clock? In 2011 after 57,000 58,000 miles hey presto the head gasket went plus bearings and seals on turbo.£1,200 later all was well,8 months later and about 4000 miles hey presto all the oil in the sump decided to make it way and mix with the water,so it looks like it could be another hefty bill.So anybody out there thinking of buying a truck steer clear MITSIBUSHI,I will never buy another ever.

Bought a pre registered 2010 4 life in 2010. Ran like a 3 legged dog from Day1, after continuing fob offs from the dealer and 3000 miles, I decided to trade the vehicle for a higher spec "Raging Bull" from a non franchised dealer,("talk about a fool and his money are soon parted"), this delight at least ran OK, but the paint then came off the factory fitted hardtop-after months of squit and excuses from the local dealer, Mitsubishi then condescended to a cheap hardtop respray.

I know the feeling ... bought ours in 2007 new. First engine blew up in 2010 45k just after warranty had lapsed! Reconditioned engine put in ... that tanked last week. Ongoing problems with glow plugs and loosing power throughout. Mitsubishi very hard to deal with even bought a canopy with the truck only to have to wait 3 months for it to arrive when we were told it would be fitted ready when we picked the truck up. Anyone need some spare parts?

Only owned this L200 2.5 diesel for 3 months. Purchased from a local 4x4 dealer which is a part of a larger dealership in Norwich. With only 47000 on the clock I was hopeing this will last me for many years. Since owning it it has been back to have the Air Con serviced and has just had a new Head Gasket fitted. The gear change often feels very notchy and I am hopeing that I will have to fork out for a new clutch in the very near future. Battery failed today which is a non standard Mitsubushi... (read more)

Initially thought about getting replacement Mitsubishi engine but was over priced and I could not trust it. So i bought a Ford Transit engine 2.5DI non turbo and put it in. Never buy an diesel engine with petrol block. It is going to fail. (read more)

Yes but you need one with Turbo to make it anyway practical. Your model is about 700kg heavier than mine. Also, you may have to do away with your 4WD and make it permanent 2WD.
<br/>
<br/>Also the engine sits a bit higher thanks to different size sump and the block is a bit bulkier than the Mitsubishi engine.

Bought this L200 to work on my site, it's job entailed pulling a 300kg trailer up and down a steep hill all day. For pulling power (not on the 'getting ladies front) it's great, a real tugboat of a motor, but the build quality and reliability is SHOCKING!!! Since owning it, new break pipes, new front diff (now broken again!), exhaust fell off, radiator blew up, now the head has actaully cracked!!!! so need new head, gaskets, skimming etc etc etc etc....

We have also got two 06 Mitsubishi Warriors and on one the head gasket, radiator and cambelts have failed and the rear leaf springs are broken,the vehicle is under 50K mileage, fully dealer serviced and maintained, never been used off road or for towing anything. The other one has a failed cambelt and has just had both leaf springs replaced - seems there are dangerous issues with the 06 model. We are currently in communication with Mitsubishi concerning these problems and are still waiting for a resolution to our complaints. We too are now hearing these same faults are occuring on other 06 models but what action can be taken as Mitsubishi are not admitting this?

“My only -ve comment on the L200 (4x4 model - manual)...”
Written on: 28/03/2010
My only -ve comment on the L200 (4x4 model - manual) is the transmission ratio between 1st and 2nd gear (either 2H or 4H). I don't know the exact ratio but I can feel that the difference between those gears are too much.
A bit difficult for first timer to drive off-road. Need to rev up before shifting to 2nd.
My +ve comment is I never encounter any problem with mine. I have the full confidence with my L200. Coming to 150,000 km and had seen a lot of extreme off-road action since I bought...

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.

2.5 from Sprinter might be bit too long for your engine bay...I'd imagine you would end up cutting up the bulk head to accommodate extra length and dropping the Mitsubishi trans and swapping it with Mercedes trans as a set.

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 is...

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 :-) (read more)

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.

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? (read more)

The Mitsubishi L200 is a good truck but a bit heavy on diesel and many suffer from diesel pump problems which is fine if under warranty but could be expensive otherwise. (read more)

Worst pick up truck i have ever bought, heavy on fuel and smokes like a train , only had my L200 for 5 months and already has had filters, actuator, egr, turbo, injectors, injector pump and is still going like a broken clock. Even a Mitsubishi garage I had it in inspected the fault and said it was the gate valve on the turbo which is not the case and I still have an L200 that I'm stuck with that I can't get repaired. Worst buy ever.

I agree with this review because... this is exactly what problems I have had in 12 month of ownership, smokes worse than an oilfield, had new turbo, new filters and much more, just spent £1200 on it 3 weeks ago, broke down last night, injector problem, was a wealthy man before I bought this garbage, looks nice though.

Mitsubishi might have made great battle ships and tanks, but this is not a feet of engineering - in my opinion it's a bad compromise.
The worst vehicle I have every driven. Worse than the Cossack Ural A 3-wheel motor bike made in Russia during the cold war era, in fact the L200 shares the same type of suspension - A leaf spring. Out of date.
I recommend you not to buy of one of these. My dealer hasn't been any help and neither have Mitsubishi. I advise you to get a Landrover instead.

I have read what some many people have written about Mitsubishi L200. I reckon they were just unlucky. The L200 is an awesome car with power if known how to drive it properly. Its interior is properly design for heavy luxury. Its is very good on diesel. The body is hard and the reliability is at its best. I will definitely recommend Mitsubishi to who ever want to experience a good driving experience. Quality car. (read more)

I must say I disagree with this review. I don't believe I was just unlucky. Please read my review of this car too if you're thinking of buying one of these.

The Mitsubishi L200 2.5TD Double Cab Pick-up is not a very good truck, it's almost impossible to do a good turn even in full lock! If you push the dash in the whole of the front interior surface moves with it. There have been a few problems, the windows always jam, the parking sensors have given up the ghost and the anti- theft radio has broken 4 times now. The rear seat room is similar to a BMW six series or sport coupe of such. It is okay off road as it has 4wd h/l. However, the suspension... (read more)

I think that most people buy these trucks and think they will drive as good as there posh BMW'S & MERCS. But at the end of the day it ' s a tough pickup truck that does the Job well. I have had mine a while now and will enjoy it for a long time to come. The new L200 06 is Not a Working Mans truck, as most real men will Agree.<br/>
All you see is woman and office woolly ' s buying these great Trucks and Moaning about them when they have a bumpy ride or if it makes a noise or two... they seem to forget that they are building for Working and offroading, Pickup Trucks are for The Working man not as a Normal everyday car.<br/>
The new L200 looks to fancy and will only appeal to pancey boys, who want to brag they have a new model and can go off-road to get to there big fancy houses, But when all the Fancy electric gauges and gadgets have there Faults they will even moan about that Also.<br/>
I Think the new L200 is a good truck, but in my eyes it's Not a pickup truck. If you ever see a Flash pickup truck with a load on the back please let me know as it's a very hard sight to find, as all the paint and shiny chrome will get knackered.

My 53 plate Animal also bought from new died at 65,00 miles. Big ends went. Regularly serviced.
Cost a fortune.Head gasket gone too....and leaking oil like a sieve. I will never recommend Mitsubishi vehicles.
