Check the ujs on the prop shafts they go if not greased!!! Do them every 4000 as well as track rod ends etc. over kill I no but can be a pain. My dad as one and when it hits wet grass when towing it just spins even in 4 wd. Plus they. Also they have fully s/oil in them which is pricey. One more thing leaf springs on the back (dads) had two in three years (not towing much weight).

The springs will go without weight been in the back on a regular basis that is trouble with people using them like cars unfortunately .

And dont put H/T tyres on either i put All Terrain tyres on mine , First off H/T's are crap for traction and they only last about 15,000 miles ,

My A/T's have done just over 20,000 and i can see them doing another 10-15,000 miles

Mine had about 400 kilo in the bed and it was towing 1.5 tonne of shot-blasting trailer, coming back from London yesterday.

It still wanted to take off!!!!

Rob ;D

Rob you should have had a colour matched tonneau cover , Cant upload pics but mine is a sports Tonneau cover , Cant upload pics but their is a pic of one on a L200 on the homepage of www.4x4at.com  .

Your truck looks good though,  Fully loaded a carry just over 500kg and it pulls away like their is no weight in the back . Mike

I had it about five months ago, from a dealer in Bristol. It had been used by a firm as a run around, motorway mileage.

There wasn't many around at the time, black one on Ebay and an automatic on a 59 plate - that was nice in silver.

Unfortunately I didn't have a choice on the cover. I did want the sports Tonneau cover but they are about 2 grand (or there abouts) and I don't want to pay that on top of the pick up.

If it's too big to go in the bed it goes in one of the vans.

I looked at all the models of pick up before I went on this one.

This is the Walkinshaw Performance, upgraded springs, leather monogrammed seats, twin exhaust (it gets a lot of attention because it is so loud), bluetooth, integrated sat nav, 20 inch wheels. I think it is based on the Barbarian.

You don't see them everywhere and with the 176BHP, for a heavy car it certainly shifts.

Bad points

Uncomfortable seats on a long journey.

Would I have another - absolutely ;D ;D ;D

Stephen - thanks

Mick it was bought as a works vehicle - it will be abused

Rob ;D

Rob, I've got the same one! They are a cracking motor.

What colour?

The seats are crap on distance journeys, it's like they aren't long enough and there's definitely not enough depth in them.

I drove vans for twelve years so anything is an improvement on that but we were at Newmarket racecourse yesterday, in the Transit and we had a three hour drive and not uncomfortable at all, as opposed to a three hour drive back from london, the day before and numb a*ses all round

I tried to get some Walkinshaw mats - emailed them, they don't do them!

Rest of it is a car that just wants to go and is very nice to look at

Black the same as yours. This is my third one so used to the uncomfortableness! In fact they have got load better as the models improved - turning circle in the older style L200 is horrendous!

Think they had the mats when I got it but didn't order them at the time - think they were around £30 a pop! Bought heavy duty rubber ones as I know how stinking they get in the end.

Used to have a 55 plate and the belt for the power steering used to come off apart from that cracking motor.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I have been reading with interest. Can I fit a 600 litre tank with two reels in the back of a Warrior? That's what I need it to do. Cheers.  :)
