6mmBR Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Cheers Mark that would be great. L200's seem to be about the same money as Navaras, that crash test was quite worrying. Looked at Toyotas and they seem to be a few grand dearer for the year. You don't know of anyone who fancies a Daihatsu do you? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave The L200's are fine, the only problem I have with them is there is nowhere to put your left foot (no foot shelf) beside the clutch pedal and if you're anyway tallish it will eventually get on your tits. Should be no problem selling your Daihatsu in Wales, three out of four 4x4's are Daihatsu's in south and west Wales. The sales team for Daihatsu in Wales certainly earned their corn in the 90's and early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly appear to have cornered the market in old scoobies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Going to look at a L200 on Friday, hope if its ok it will go on as long as my 16 year old Daihatsu. It lives in Wales and is not dead yet Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alled12 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 The new L200's have better fuel economy than the new Navara's, we used to have both at my firm, the nvaras were getting about 25mpg the L200's 29 to 30mpg. Better stopping distance and more comfortable, my opinion I am sure others will differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to anyone who has one but they do seem to have made it look a bit of a "hairdressers" truck, a bit to rounded for my liking. Cheers Dave ps does anyone know the difference between the Animal/Warrior versions of the L200, is it just extras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam204 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Dave, i knew that question was going to arise so here is a pic of my solution to that quandary..Inspired by Sankey, built by yours truly. The articulation on uneven ground is fairly good, turning corners can be a bit dodgy though.... :blush I think i've been off work too long.....
