2004 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior review from UK and Ireland

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.

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.
