after hearing of 4 diffrent L200 dropping the bottom pully off this last month.
i think i better just give you all a warning.
anybody with a mitsi motor or if you know anybody with one be it the shogun l200 or what ever with the 2.5 or the 2.8 engine in.
please please check your bottom pully, because its not a matter of if it will go its just a matter of time when it will.
there a poor design and a commen falut on this truck. 2.5 worse than the 2.8.
the new pully is only about £140 notes,
and when this bottom pully gos it snap your cam belt.
which is a full head rebuild last one i did was £400 just for the head work and that was without any major damage to it.
the worse thing that will happin is it will move on the crank and to be honest your talking £1000s to put right.
so check it, and if your putting it in for a service tell the garage to check it.
because many of them dont know of this problem
so just a heads up
because i seen so many of them go pop and i had to fix 4 myself over the years and replaced many a pully
