Simoman 110 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Wilf, are you set on getting the L200? I couldn't decide between that or the Navara when I was looking, I test drove several of both and found the Navara had more poke and a better ride. I heard the L200 's big end was prone to go as was the clutch, but then I heard horror stories about Navaras and mines been bang on after 20 months and 50,000 miles, not a single problem............

The more common faults depending on the model appear to be the glow plugs not lasting long....apart from fuel consumption cant say there has been much hassle with mine. ......sorry meant glow not blow Edited July 19, 2008 by undisputed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FJager 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Good solid performers WILF, not a Toyota, but very good in the bush, turning circle is shite though, apart from that, go for it. As I have said previously, we have a few at work and they cop a pissling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
