Faults:

The driver side electric window lock is u/s.

General Comments:

The vehicle really is bomb-proof. I agree with earlier reviews regarding the cheap dashboard/fascia in plastic. The original Mitsubishi has an oil pressure gauge and voltmeter, far more useful than the Galloper´s altimeter and digital clock with outside temperature indicator. Thankfully Hyundai retained the driver´s spring-adjustable seat which makes travelling across lava deserts here in Iceland a lot more comfortable.

Minor gripe: Having to get out and manually lock the hubs. It´s antediluvian.

Although the turbo diesel is only listed at 99 horses-4 more than the Feroza-there´s more than enough torque to pull a large trailer uphill with 7 people onboard. The large amount of space in the rear of the vehicle plus the flexibility afforded by the adjustable seats makes the Galloper a useful jeep.

Faults:

I imported the vehicle LHD from OMAN and had some difficulty getting it registered. Biggest problem is lights as the Galloper is NOT sold in the UK. Renault 5 lights fit and were fitted to get it through the SVA (TAKEN OFF AFTERWARDS).

I seem to have problem with the drive just now. When just starting off there is loud 'clunks' from the drive which dissapear on picking up speed, but the drive is noisy. This does not happen all the time and does not happen in 4 wheel drive?

I will need spares for this vehicle, but where from?

Ia it possible to get hold of a Maintenance Manual/Service Manual?

General Comments:

I had the vehicle in Oman since 1999 and I am generally very pleased with it.

Faults:

Air-conditioning failed at 30k. Struts had to be replaced at 40k.

General Comments:

This is a rare car, Galloper I is a replica of a pre - 1989 Mitsubishi Pajero, basically a design that fully originates from about year 1980, even though the car has been made in 1997.

It is more boxy than Galloper 2 - which has somewhat rounder looks. It is SWB, pretty uncomfortable for long rides.

It has been reliable so far (purchased it almost new, with 9000 km) except the struts were gone before 40k and air-conditioning clutch failed at 30k.

Off road is good, however on road handling is poor.

80 HP diesel engine (non-turbo) is underpowered by all means for a car that is about 1750 kg.

Parts are unreasonably expensive at local Hyundai dealership (oil filter is 25 EURO) and most parts are not available - require ordering from Korea and long waiting time.
