1985 Mitsubishi Pajero NA - Short Wheel Base review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best off-road vehicle I have ever driven, great value for money."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gearbox had to be rebuilt, due to the bearings giving away.
Rear main (engine seal) leaked oil.
Lower ball joints worn, causing the car to squeak.
General comments?
The driver vision to very good.
The cab space is very roomy, even for a short wheel base vehicle.
Excellent off-road performance, with good power to weight ratio.
Driving on-road is just as enjoyable as driving off-road.
The fuel consumption to impressive.
Little work is required to give the vehicle greater performance.
