Mitsubishi L200 Animal 2.5 4WD Pick Up For Spares or Repair 2005 in black.
The pickup is offered for spares or repair due to an engine problem, the engine will not start at all and the vehicle is sold as a non runner
The vehicle was running perfectly then lost power and stopped and wouldn’t restart.
I had it recovered and brought home via a local garage who where unable to identify the fault economically.They did however check the cam belt and timing and also to see if there was water in the oil but all was fine.
I genuinely have no idea of the fault but have been told by a mechanic that the turbocharger may have failed causing it to clatter when trying to start it but I can’t verify nor guarantee that this is the problem.
I have stopped trying to start the engine to reduce the risk of any further damage being done until the fault is identified and rectified.
The pickup has been owned by me for 9 years but been in the family since 2009
It has always been a reliable workhorse serviced regularly and up to this had never let me down.
Excellent recent Continental Cross Contact tyres with approx 6.5mm of tread to each.The spare has less depth but usable.
Recent new catalytic converter fitted.
Leather seats front and rear ( drivers seat has rip as can be seen)
The JVC high end radio is also a DVD player with remote control.
Being a 2005 utility vehicle, there are dents and dings to the body and light rusting here and there as would be expected and as can be seen in the photos.
The vehicle was hit whilst parked on the drive a good few years ago requiring two replacement nearside doors to be fitted. The cost of brand new doors was excessive so the vehicle was classed as a cat n by the insurance company although this is not on the v5 and the repairs and replacement of the doors were carried out by a professional motor body repair company to the same standard.
Also included with the vehicle are the original truck bed roll bars which can be fitted when the Carryboy hard top is removed. They are shown in one of the photos.
Also included is a brand new ( still in packaging) near side front wing which was due to be fitted any time.
The V5 is in my name and 3 keys are included.
This is a low mileage vehicle with than 120k genuine miles on the clock.
Lots of history, old mot’s receipts etc
Please look at the photos to see for yourself the condition of the pickup. Its a great genuine vehicle and would be perfect for someone with the skill to repair it.
Please do note that this is definately a non runner and will not start at all. It cannot be driven away and must be either trailered of towed away.
Vehicle is located in the Cottingham area of East Yorkshire.
Thanks for looking
