It's legenday in it's reliability.

Keep away from the 3.0 though - hunk of crap engine.

Yes, that's the 3.0, the injectors leak diesel into the oil. It's a known problem. The 3.1 is the direct injection version of the 2.8 which is a supurb engine.

Also you say everyone you have had in then reference 1 engine.   Isuzu are standing by all of the 3.0's with run-on issues and replacing FOC - but still a hunk of crap engine.

Just thought id add my 2cents worth. I regularly use my 06 l200 to tow an ifor williams car transporter and have never had any problems. I would agree that a discovery would be better suited if your doing long drives through hilly areas. But the l200 is a very capable and reliable motor. Just be careful of the earlier models because they did have a few issues.
