mond Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Are you on the 4X4 for sale in the UK Facebook group? There's usually something on there. Saw a guy post an add the other day for an L200 dual cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 What mond said but why do you want an l200 ? if it's for carting the family around then from experience from my uncles l200 warrior it's not that that comfortable but a good work truck just my opinion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiobull Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I had an l200 animal, I loved it. However had major engine problems with the crankshaft bolt which you may read about. Twice I had it come loose, luckily I caught it both times but to me that is a serious reliabilty issue which could be catastrophic. However apart from that I did love it, was comfy for a truck and looked pretty dam cool. I had an xlwb iveco daily 2.3 2006 which I converted from a mini bus. It pulled like a train, was really comfy and was amazing on fuel. had 36k on the clock, really good condition and cost me £4k.

Gaz! Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Don’t do faceache I’m afraid so scouring eBay, schpock etc. reason for the l200 would be plenty of space in the back, high driving position, looks cool. having a look at a l200 warrior, Mitsubishi Outlander and a x type jag diesel this afternoon so might just be the ticket. the van is a no go for now though, it has to be a 4x4 type car now. i have looked at a Hyundai Tucson diesel on a 58 plate with 89k on the clock that’s tidy and even a 3 series 3.0 diesel but the would cripple me having to get in and out of it. seen a couple of discoveries too, but for my budget, I’m buying yet more work or it has rocket ship miles. So I’m afraid a landy is gonna be out of the question now too. ill keep the thread posted with any updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I am sorry mate, met some good people through owning a Land Rover but at this moment in my life, car reliability and the way they drain your wallet isn’t something I need going on. still have my dads defender to play with though been awesome, “cleaning” it out for him today, it’s a shopping trolley but got it singing and smoking today..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 We saw one of these today, https://goo.gl/images/Cphs7c my old man asked, “what about these” to which I replied, “rather that Hyundai Tucson at the side of it” no disrespect or or offence to any jeep owners but I seriously can’t see the appeal, bit like a Porsche, you know that you could have bought better..... my sister (don’t get on with her) has a thing for white porkers, she had a 911, 928, 944 and now a boxster, you would think she would have learned her lesson by now but can’t account for taste really. i will have another landy one day but it will have to be half decent and not like my disco was (she goes at end of month, young lad next door to me mam and dad is having it) I WILL DEFINATELY shed a tear when she does change ownership. wish I was as rich as @Rover Man then I would be picking another green oval up tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the people driving high end and cars like Porsche and the the others in this country all your saying is your a target and you can't drive any faster then someone in a 1.0l yaris for example pointless in my opinion is your old landy gonna be a play toy for them ? so the next time you see it it might be trashed ?

Gaz! Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Maybe so, have had one apparently a few years back and wished he still had it, he also seen just how much work it’s actually had. its a bargain for someone who can afford to have it as a toy, unfortunately my position meant it was a toy and my daily driver. if things change down the line, might get another cheapy disco and let my lad work on it and train him up as a mechanic..... bet if I sold a few cars, could end up getting one sooner. less than 2 hours to go now. gonna lock this thread up now but I’ll start one in the correct section once I get my mits on it and snap some pics. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
