Nice 1, really helpful

[@DrivenMadShow]

Thanks for saying that - much appreciated

[@vvitecki]

I have a l200 k74 from 2005 for 4 years and this time has taught me that the thermostat is only original - no replacement is so well calibrated - I'm waiting for more movies with the l200 in the lead role!

[@DrivenMadShow]

Not long to wait - the parts are mounting up - it us that's the problem, my knee, Naths ankle - poor sods🤣

Was not expecting an appearance in this one or I would have hid the bingo's on my twiglet arms 😂

Hi friend, great video! I have a question: since the cooling system was rusty and when you added coolant, did it cause any problems over time? How has it behaved?

[@DrivenMadShow]

To be honest, I really went to town on it - cleaned with wynns, new radiator, new pipes - 5 flushes with water etc - I cannot believe how clean it has stayed - just done 5K around Spain, so well tested now, still pink coolant :)

Hi. Can you tell me where to get the front grill like the one you are using?

[@DrivenMadShow]

The grill is stock, at this point in time, it was plasti dipped black - since peeled it off :)

[@khangarkarrar7800]

Why the heck would someone delete the thermostat?! Nice work

[@DrivenMadShow]

We can only agree - we bought the L200 / Mercedes ML & Panda (the 2008 one) all used - all 3 had the thermostat removed ??? it must be a Portugal thing ! asking around, some say it makes the car run cooler - which is utter bollocks im my opinion 🤣

[@khangarkarrar7800]

@@DrivenMadShow if then ; why they create it ?😂

[@jnr1989]

@@DrivenMadShow the theory is, to run the engine cooler but the thermostat is supposed to get the best operating temp on engine (which implies that cooler is not neccesarily better???) At least from diesel engines. I support keeping thermostat. A lot of mechanics are lazy and careless too

My Mitsubishi car Is After 80 Km By 5 gear marshe The Noise is So bad And The rpm Is So high ??

Hello, can you tell me the specifications of the thermostat or where I can buy it online?... greetings from the Dominican Republic

[@DrivenMadShow]

Hi Reyson - we get some bits from Autodoc - they are very poor at offering different parts for the car, when clearly only one would fit, so take care. We ordered one for our Panda, the photo was 100% spot on, yet the part that arrived was different, so order by OEM code, not what looks right. For a better service, we use www.mitzybitz.com/mitsubishi-l200, but the import tax here into Portugal, is very high (so an expensive option). We cannot tell you the one to get (sorry) it will be year/model & country specific. Hope you sort it

[@jnr1989]

Reyson do you have a k74? I do have one. Im struggling in the DR to keep it on top condition and running

[@DrivenMadShow]

@@jnr1989 we do - it’s hard to get parts here as well, we cannot afford Mitsubishi parts do we try and use recycled parts or Autodoc

@@DrivenMadShow how can I reach you privately? I have some questions about the l200s and portugal... I have heard about some... "strakar" models... of course if you dont mind. By the way I am getting feedback about 4d56 engines blowing up because keeping the thermostat and overheating, I am still researching...
