Only 18k? That needs to go straight back to Mitsubishi for a warranty repair. That'd be a pretty rare fault for a 64 plate truck

I'd agree with Diggermandan here. You are well inside the warranty period . Give it back to mitsi let them deal with it!

Hi I have a Y reg L200 animal and the head gasket has gone.
I've taken it to a garage and the mechanic has said one of the bolts will not come loose on to remove the head!
He's suggested drill inning it out!

Is this the only way to extract it and is it a safe option?
I've asked if we could heat it and ease it with lubricant!

Can anyone help?

Many thanks
Mono
