bluesj Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Some report poor mpg and head lights not being that great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) 2015 should still have a lot of warranty left. I have had 3 now with very few problems. The latest I have had 3 years and done 50k miles in it. Nothing serious has gone wrong mostly just routine servicing. Headlights are fine and when I change I will most likely get another, doing 33mpg at the moment on at tyres so not bad at all Edited June 8, 2017 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Rear leaf springs are worth checking regularly. EGR valves coke up but i blanked mine off by making two gaskets from a Coke can. Runs much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just sold my L200 15 plate. No problems at all with the truck and the MPG with AT tyres was excellent especially on a run. The new owner is a PW member, advertised and sold on PW what a Great forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs much better. All mine I have just changed them for milners springs round the 60k mark and never had to do them again.

Red-dot Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Remove EGR 4 bolts. Cut open a coke can and make an impression on the coke can (or Irn Bru if you are a Scot) and cut out two gaskets and refit. Clean air runs much better.

billytheghillie Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I have a 12 plate with 35k on it, it wont shift down from 4th to 3rd, think its the synchro mesh, apparently its quite a common problem.

BrowningDJC Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I've got a 2015 challenger, good on fuel for a pick up, drives well. Best feature is being able to run in 4wd on road when required. Definitely have another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
