I've bought a 2017 warrior off the back of this video, it made my mind up for me which one to get. It's same colour too! Class this video can't wait to get my car delivered now
Have a look did other videos on the L200 and quite often have them featured on my weekly vlogs.
Just this lasts vlog has an L200 S5 been re mapped.
Thanks for watching and pleased this has helped you, try to keep things clear and down to earth advice for people
Crackin Review mate! Thanks! 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
Thank's for providing this content. This is a very informative review of the Mitsubishi L200 and gives such a lot of advice for owners or prospective buyers. It has definitely encouraged me to buy one and will now go for a Warrior specification model.
Yeah I just wanted to give the basic facts so people knew what they were really getting, truck was fantastic, Truckman canopy was rubbish.
Have a look on my other videos did quite a few on my truck 🛻
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice ride!! Strong & Reliable. Built To Handle Whatever Challenges Come Your Way, Impressive Fuel Economy
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Yeah be good putting the L200 and ML head to head when I get the chance
Great review mate
Thanks for watching/ commenting mate 👍🏼
I am a fun of this car. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching, check out my other videos 👍🏼
Very good video, best one on L200 from a genuine owner
Thanks mate appreciate your comments, that was in the early days of my TH-cam channel
Hi Dan great videos 👍🏻 just come across your channel and subscribed as I’m in the market for a series 5.Did you ever do a separate video for the egr electronic box of tricks? Or do you have a link to the supplier ?cheers
Thanks for the sub mate 👍🏼
To be honest the tuning box and EGR mod were ok when truck was under warranty….. but once out of warranty your far better off having a stage 1 Re Map and EGR mapped out.
Yeah I did do some separate videos on the tuning box and EGR mod I think, just go to my videos and search L200 should narrow them down 👍🏼
Hi mate, great video bud can you please tell me what make tune box you went for??
Yeah no problem
It’s the agritune box, sure there is a special offer on at the moment 👍🏼
Keep a look out I have a video just on the tuning box and EGR mod I will be uploading very soon
Great video. Where did you get the kit for the rear tail door. Thanks
Thanks for your support watching the channel 👍🏼
I got them off eBay, tried getting the link but with it been a private seller was a one off.
It’s called Easy Up Tailgate Assist Kit, basically spring loaded hinges and damper..... easy enough to fit, but getting the alignment gaps from tail to rear lights is a bit if a pain.
Hard to explain not just the gaps, but getting the tail flush with the rear lights and quarter panel, spent ages messing around moving hinges back and forward, and adjusting the catches in and out what the tail latches onto.
Happy to assist if you decide to buy and fit 👍🏼
Nice truck.
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Hey thanks for the review just bought a 19 too thanks which are the wind deflectors? The looks nice low profile?
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
They are Team Heko
Great video ive got an 18plate, was going to pick one of those EGR units up but the website "does it fit" only shows the previous model to mine .... bit wary of buying one as the seller has not responding to my email.
Personally i would go for stage 1 re map and EGR mapped out…. Far better way of doing it.
Only reason I didn’t was mine was under warranty at the time, so these were a fantastic way around it.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Great video. Do you have any advice on fitting a catch can filter on the mitsubishi engine
In all honesty I don’t really know, with mine been under warranty I don’t tend to make any permanent modifications.
Provided your turbo is in good health, I don’t tend to see many issues with excess oil intercooler system
Cheers mate. Look forward to seeing more videos on the mitsubishi. As I have the same vehicle.
Thanks mate appreciate it 👍🏼
Great video mate... thinking of choping my Shogun in for a pickup, but wasn't sure what to go for yet. But this Video has swayed me towards the L200 now. The shogun is a cracking lump, but running costs are high, especially MPG. Hilux to expensive! Ranger is unreliable & rots !
So The L200 fits the bill. Thanks again fella.
Yeah just make sure you go for the series 5 L200 preferably a late one 18/19…. 100% avoid the series 6 they are terrible.
I have gone back to old school just picked up a Trooper love it.
Good car the shogun would definitely have one
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Came across your channel today. Excellent! I have a 2018 warrior, bought in 2022, from down your way ironically (I'm in Scotland). I was lucky enough to find a rare VAT free one aswell. Now only 26000 miles. It's due its 6 year service. What's your thoughts on delaying that for a few thousand more miles considering its no where near the expected mileage (72K) at 6 years?
Thank for watching 👍🏼
If you’re referring to the valve clearance nonsense, I personally wouldn’t waste your time or money distributing everything , even ones with 120,000 miles need very minimal adjustment.
Yes the VAT free ones are hard to come by, personally if your buying private I don’t think you should have to pay it utter con
@@CarAddictGarageNE they want £1200 for changing injectors, oil change, air filter, fuel filter etc 🤣. 4 hours labour.
Absolutely love the vehicle but I'll stick to regular servicing and maintenance.
Got mine from a garage in Ryton.
Keep up the good work with the channel!
Oh no that’s not new injectors, that’s just to remove the injectors to remove the rocker cover to check/adjust the valve clearances….. like said most with over 100.000 miles still don’t even require adjustment.
Oil change / air filter / fuel filter / pollen filter your all good, lub the prop shafts and check the gearbox/diff/transfer box fluids your all good
Lovely truck, what size tyres are you running?
I went for 255 upgraded from 245 from stock, was advised to go 265 but I didn’t want to stray too far from stock.
I can’t remember the remaining size think it was 255 65 17
Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi pal which agri tune box did you end up buying I have the same truck and year as yourself and also fitted the egr delete so do I buy the pro or the pro + much appreciate your help in this matter bud 👍🏼
I did this video years ago when the truck was still under warranty, so back then these tuning boxes where a good idea due to easy removal for warranty work.
At this stage i would go for stage1 remap and EGR mapped out
Came across you yesterday…..we were inches away from buying a wildtrack. Now we’re gonna look at these. So thanks you for that!! In the canopy watertight?
I think I did other videos on the canopy that’s the one thing I was not impressed with at all was the truckman canopy was utter rubbish, but the truck it’s self was brilliant, late series 5 Warrior fantastic.
But more basic than wild track but far more reliable
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
@@CarAddictGarageNE we went to look at a warrior and a barbarian yesterday. Seems it’s the main family car and mine for work occasionally. The wife will drive it more. We both prefer the Ranger for drivability and comfort there’s also more room in the back which is what we want
@alexchadbourne8070 you will soon regret buying a ranger lol.
Trucks them self are ok, but the engines are utter junk nothing but bother.
I would have the 3.2 if I absolutely had to, but I just hope to god you ain’t gone for the 2.0 EcoBlue 😖😖😖
@@CarAddictGarageNE ain’t buying a biturbo 2.0 🤣 oil pump has been changed to a mechanical one and the injectors have been replaced under warranty. So I know it’s good
@alexchadbourne8070 you getting the 3.2 ?
Because all the 2.0 EcoBlue have the wet belts you 100% want to avoid those
Any info on the slow release kit for the tailgate? Thanks
Unfortunately not as I got them from a private seller on eBay, check the description on the video I might of left a link to them…. But this was years ago now.
Thanks
What brand canopy is this? Looks fantastic
It’s a Truckman Adventurer 3, it only looks good as the truck is practically brand new, bar looking alright they are horrendous one thing that irritated me from start to finish with the truck.
Got a brand new canopy fitted early this year under warranty, and after 3 months and 1000 miles it was showing signs of problems again, cracking door frame, rubbers cracking.
Would 100% recommend avoid them, have a look on my other videos on the truck, sure I went into more depth about the canopy

@@CarAddictGarageNE thank you for this advice.
Any idea where to get the water defense kits from
Directly from Mitsubishi wouldn’t waste your time anywhere else mate
Morning......
Fantastic content as always.
May I ask a question..... When fitting the WATER DEFENCE SYSTEM did you have to REMOVE the plastic bedliner? Mitsubishi are telling me the WHOLE bedliner has to come out. I'm thinking I can just undo the EDGES of the bedliner (at the ends where the water defence system fits) and fit it that way?
Keep up the great content.
I'm binge watching the whole of your content, ESPECIALLY the L200 as I treat mine like a pavement princess.
Look forward to future content.

Hi thanks very much for your support and watching the channel 👍🏼👍🏼
First up yes mine gets called the same….. sorry but I’m not taking a 19/20k vehicle down narrow tracks scratching it to death, and doing extreme off roading just for the crack, hence I got a cheap Mercedes ML to do that, it’s my pride and joy and suits me perfect for my family/pet needs.
I would of had loads of L200 content but only started the channel beginning of the year, and did most the work/jobs last year so have non of it covered.
As for the water defence kit, what a palaver that was!!
Got the truck home first night and the whole back flooded, soaked all my carpets and dog cage, so the garage offered to supply the kit for free and knew I had a garage so said you will have no bother fitting them…. Ha ha how the joke was on me should have let them deal with it.
Yes you have to remove the liner easy with no canopy, but keeping it in place you have to almost bend it in half (marking all the interior of your canopy) to remove, so after hearing that we decided to fit them with everything still in place, had to carefully cut out enough of the liner to fit them in, took ages as I was worried I made a mess of it, I’m a mechanic not a body work guy lol.
Instructions were rubbish, called the helpline on the instructions and they were of some help to a degree.
Since fitted no more leaks 👍🏼
@@CarAddictGarageNE Top man.
Thank you so much for the reply. At least they weren't giving me a load of BS 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Sounds a bit complicated for me, so will get them to do it for me.
Yes, your very much like me, I've ad mine since brand new in 2015 & its still only got 8,883 miles on it. Its 6 yrs old this September. Its only ever been out in the rain ONCE in its life 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 bit sad I know to admit it.
But like ya self, I absolutely love it.
The chassis is as clean as a whistle, and the seam sealer on the underside of the body, is still WHITE that's how clean it is.
Anyway, I'll wrap up before I bore you to tears.
Keep up the great content, luv all the videos on ya channel.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Alan L200
@@CarAddictGarageNE Me again.
Sorry I forgot to say, I paid VAT on mine, bringing the total to over £29k & I paid cash. But I absolutely love it. Only mentioned that as u mentioned the very valid point in one of ya videos about them being a COMMERCIAL vehicle and having to to pay VAT on em, unless u buy one of some like me who's paid the VAT.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Alan L200
Only thing is main dealers won’t care less and might occur damage, so if your like me particular about your vehicle better do it your self, as they will just let the apprentice loose with the saw lol
I’m exactly the same, have my 406 and other cars for the places I don’t want the L200 going lol, but they ain’t cheap why abuse them.
First thing I did when I got mine home in august (was basically a brand new truck) was spend all weekend clear waxoyl the underbody and cavity waxing all the inner chassis, sills, box sections, inside the doors everywhere basically…. But it’s all clear like an invisible barrier, hate all the black tar stuff people use.
Mine just clicked 10,000 but had to use it a lot these last few weeks.
People call me sad, but I just use my head, why take a 19/20k truck to Asda when I can take my 406 lol.
We very much think alike 👍🏼
Yeah mine was an odd one, was an office worker (a lady) who had is as company car but been commercial they skip the vat on there pay was only used March 19’ to December 19 stood in storage till August 20 when I ordered it…. Since it was a direct Mitsubishi vehicle VAT had been paid.
Absolutely refuse to pay it for personal use, one big con.
Was 100% a new vehicle, been up and down the motorway soon as it hit 6000 miles it went back, rear seats, load area still had plastic on it lol.
I was told by a mate that the ecu nowadays logs the difference and they can tell if you have tampered with it. What you think?
Yes that’s if you re map them, or if you do something daft like take them in for engine warranty work with the boxes still attached.
They leave absolutely no log on the ECU because all they do is adapt live reading, there is nothing to be logged on the ECU.
Unless you go crazy and set the tuning box to full power and you trigger a over boost fault….. but any £10 eBay scanner can wipe that code
Do you get better mileage? Have you got a link for the one you got. Can’t find it in the description mind you im as thick as two short planks 😅
I got 43MPG on my last long trip, watch the video with the caravan review did a bit on the L200
Link for EGR de activate
mitsi-egr.co.uk
Tuning box is called
agritune just search on Facebook or google you will find them 👍🏼
Do you low if you can disable the auto fold mirrors when locking?
Bar locking with the key in the door, unfortunately they are permanent.
Mitsubishi will be able to via diagnostics but will cost you
Thanks, it's a pain when they freeze closed!
What I used to do with use the button to manually fold them in, so they stay in when you unlock.
The wait for them to de ice
Ahh good thinking Batman! I'll try and remember that one! Cheers
Or just lock and unlock with the key blade in the door on nights we are expecting frost, and they don’t fold in or out 👍🏼
What make egr module did you use. And tuning chip
I used Mitsi EGR
mitsi-egr.co.uk
Agri Tuning for the tuning box.
Thanks for your support of channel 👍🏼
@@CarAddictGarageNE can you remember where you got the agri box from was it expensive
I’m sure it was about £200 ish, they have a page on Facebook if you join that you can contact them via phone or messenger.
Think they do a fully waterproof one for £250 ish, but in all honesty the standard one is totally fine and water resistant/ almost water proof IMO.
Keep any eye out for deals, I was rather disappointed asked for a good deal as I run a garage and promoted the box to all my customers, I wrote a comprehensive in depth review on all the 4x4 groups and they didn’t knock a penny off, then a week later were on offer for £160 to the public..... rather disappointed to say the least as I must of sold about 10+ units through my recommendations and review..... what since I have removed.
@@CarAddictGarageNE ok thanks for info. I must say I do like the way you explain thinks in your vids. Keep up good work.
Steve
Thanks mate appreciate that..... well I try not to get too technical, but at the same time explain best as I can so most people understand, or at least get the gist of it.
Would definitely recommend the tuning box and EGR de activate lead 👍🏼
What is the egr accessory called ? Thanks
This is the link below thanks 👍🏼

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realise about the barbarian have been a life long fan of trucks in general and alway thought the step up from warrior was a waste of time plus with all that chrome plastic tat plus the seats they are awful anyway but anyway enjoyed the video
A lot of people don’t realise, usually to step up to “top of range” 90% of manufacturer’s add some serious extra tech/option….. to me the barbarian is an utter waste of time, and if anything (personal preference) I think the barbarian looks far more tacky over the warrior
ممتاز
Thanks
London ULEZ is applicable to commercial, trucks, cars, motorcycles, you name it. L200 included. The bastards!
Yeah I’m a northerner, kind of guessed nothing would escape these days couldn’t think of anything worse than paying for the “privilege” of driving though London 😖
Thanks for watching
@@CarAddictGarageNE... They are even discussing adding a further charge for anywhere within m25, so with a Euro 5 diesel - if you go into the congestion zone (which is also within ULEZ) - it's £15 + £12.50 and soon another £5 .. PER DAY!! - even for "older" motorcycles too!
Madness yet I bet my 2004 x2 3.7 V6 petrol 4x4s been Euro 4 are aloud in.
All to make money
Road tax ?
Sorry don’t understand?
Road tax/ vehicle tax what you pay to use the road in the UK, based on vehicle class and or emissions
get a ProVent 200 catch can
Thanks 👍🏼
Great video and very well done . Iv just bought the 19 plate barbarian Black edition which is an awsome motor . But mine does not have this chicken wire behind it’s grill of the horrible cheap door handle inserts or light surrounds that was mentioned .
No the Black Edition did not have all that cheap tat, I just thought it really spoils the look of them IMO but each to their own.
You have the best of the lot late Series 5 are the ones to have, early S5 not brilliant and the S6 are poor at best.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
