I forgot to add, on the dual Cabs the back window protector bars that are part of the ute body don't really protect the back window, he was loading the Quad last week to take it up to Darwin for servicing and the bump bar on the Quad bumped the center window protector bar bending it in and smashed the window.

I would be interested to hear what those "constant repairs and issues" were as I also had a ML and now have a MN Triton and apart from the carbon build-up in the inlet manifold which seems to dog many small turbo diesels I have had no problems and can't speak highly enough of them.
They are not great at serious off-roading but they are not designed for that. With a few mods they can be made very capable, such as tyres, lift etc.

Well said Neil ......

re carbon build up is down to poor fuel i have been told ....

cheers nick

The ML - 6 steering colums, inlet manifold, 2 x ball joints, 3x rear spring fixes to stop squeaks, countless computer upgrades/flashes, surging that was becoming dangerous on wet country roads. When sold the only issue fixed was the manifold and ball ljoints. Mitso could not fix the rest so sold at 80,000km. The MN at work (we have probably 100 or more across the country ) had the same steering colom issues, diff leaks, surging and limp mode issues, drivers windows falling out, scrubbing tyres, rear spring squeks, that I know of. 2 of our sub contractors also got new MN's and have regreted their decision as well.
As I said, pity because when they are going well they are good. You say they are not great serious off road, but compared to most others on the market I think they are.
Back to the original post - the model he was looking at - MK, I never heard of any issues they have now

Has any one else had these problems ????

I would have thought there would be more threads on this if it was so ....

and i'm a member of triton forum.....

only problem thats common i know is rear spring sag & carbon build up...
