Faults:

Blown head gasket due to bad shape radiator (my fault).

Sunroof leaks.

Electric problems in power windows, sometimes they don't close.

Electric problem in the ignition system.

Strange noise coming from the engine when I start the engine (sounds like electric sparks coming from the glow plugs).

Passenger seat broke while traveling on a bumpy road.

General Comments:

I had previously owned a W124 200 diesel Mercedes-Benz, that I replaced with this nice looking boxy offroader, because it had several problems with transmission, oil and water consumption (amongst other things).

Always liked Mitsubishi 4x4's, my family owns almost all Mitsubishi offroaders, and they are very reliable. I bought this car with a very bad shape radiator, and drove it around without replacing it, resulting in overall engine repair. Has a lot of engine power and it can go anywhere! (even with worn tyres)

Faults:

The radio is a cassette one, but have a cd input.

Completely dirty, outside and inside.

The tachometer needle doesn't function. If I start to break the indicators, its going to function, but its not the best manner to have the tachometer going wright.

I shift the direction system to the left. Its cost me 500 dollars. All great besides the tachometer.

General Comments:

It is a beauty.

I love the engine and its mileage.

It has a lot of space. It is quickly, thinking it's a turbo diesel.

Very practical interior.

Full of space.

It is very high, the tires are good, I think new. It have a spare tire brand new.

Sometimes people said to me that the inter-cooler is very expensive to repair, but it is a kind of "Dakar thing to go on on weekends".

Seats have height-regulators.

Great sound outside the cabin. Inside is a sextraveller.

I was looking for a big 4x4, and suddenly found this beautiful box.

Faults:

The car was caught in a flood during heavy rains in Feburary of 2000. The previous owner rust-proofed and made it roadworthy, leaving out creature comforts. No Air-Con, No Factory - Radio.

The Clutch simply just went. Which was believed to be a product of the flooding.

Fuel Gauge becomes biased at times, primarily when below a quarter.

General Comments:

As far as reliability, comfort, performance and economy are concerned this car is an absolute stunner.

At most it costs $60 dollars for an entire tank of diesel, if driven economically half a tank will yield 370+ kms.

The rear end is leaf-sprung while the front is independant. A little different to my fathers range rover. Basically he can get to places I can't when 4WD on our hunting trips. Albiet insanely rocky terrain that any sane person wouldn't dare venture over.

Faults:

When we first bought the Pajero, we were pleased with it; our previous car being a L300 four wheel drive, the Pajero felt like a dream to drive.

The starter motor stopped working after a few months, the catalytic converter blocked, we also bought a sports exhaust, because the standard muffler used to hang down, which is standard on all Pajero's.

After a year, we had to get the carby reconditioned because the secondary failed to open, the car just did not have any guts.

Shortly after getting the carby done, the head decided to give in.

General Comments:

This car can't pull cream off a rice pudding. I think it is caused by the catalytic converter.

Inside the Pajero is a bit small; they could have given them more room.
