cheers for the comments lads, good to know

as for the L200, my father in law has one, single cab on an R reg. he has had it since new. all thats ever gone wrong with that is a leaf spring broke, and the rad leaked.

so not that unreliable lol. he did say that before he got the L200 he had a ranger, and the engine mount broke after 18 months so he got shot of it and wont have another lol. ive borrwed it a few times and its been good for whats required.

i quite fancy a ranger double cab myself, but i doubt anyone will want to swap my puma for one lol
