Re: 7 seater MPV
 
Hi Spartacus,
I have an L300 and the only real problem with them is the fuel pump which is known to need a rebuild after around 100,000 km. mine had it rebuilt a couple of years ago and I can say it's been good as gold since as long as it gets serviced regularly. As it's a diesel engine it's oil & Oil filter needs changing every 5000km and the fuel filter at least every 10,000km. Also, most people blank off the EGR valve which I did ages ago too. Just do a search on the site.

Other than that just make sure you get it looked at by a mechanic before buying, check for rust and worn bushes as they stopped making them in 1993.

If you have any questions, there are loads of nice people willing to give advice on the forum.. Good Luck.
