[AS Window Cleaning]

I really fancied getting a warrior twin cab pickup for the windows, the warrior was good though I think the navara was slighly more up market with some of its features and had more space in the back seats and in the load section.

However, i was put off my 2 things, the reliability problems that pickups, particularly the navara, seemes to be plagued with, and the extrememly poor economy that they have too.

So i bought a VW caddy van, getting between 40-50mpg, looks smart, and can just about get what I need in.  An Expert/despatch etc would have been nice, with the 3 seats up front and the bigger load space/weight carrying ability, but have heard such bad reviews with reliability etc that I passed up on it, doing about 20k a year and want something that I know will start first time, every time.

Good luck mr smudge!

the L200 warrior is the more high spec of the L200 pickups , My Trojan is the entry level model with the smallest load area of the models but works well for work and lesuire.  MIKE

Has your L200 behaved itself?
I only ask as they seem to fall into two camps:

1. 100,000 miles and on it's 3rd engine or 2. 200,000 miles and never had anything go wrong with it?

Been running an 02 plate 2.0 hdi expert for nearly two years now with no problems yet! in fact the only money ive spent on it (apart from the usual) was £100 or so upgrading the suspension.

My  has only done about 16000 miles just over 1 year old mate,   All vehicles have probs at times had a 57 plate suzuki grand vitara before and spent £2500 in less than 9 months and was looking at spending another £2000 on it after major work so got a L200 as i know they are built to last ,  MIKE
