Engine sometimes cuts out when cold, after car has travelled approximately 100 metres. This is a common fault and the front fuel pump seal is to blame. Haven't had it fixed yet as estimated price to change is £200!
For a 4x4 this size it does take off when you need it to!
The ride is as comfy as it gets. I've travelled in my bosses Jaguar and the Jag didn't even come close to the comfort of the Pajero!
Lots of toys are included in the Exceed model, including electric mirrors that fold in and tilt; electrically adjustable suspension; air conditioning; fold flat front and rear seating; 2 boot seats that fold up against the sides; 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive low and high selector; arm rests; tool kit in boot door; ABS; & many others!
It's a bit greedy on the Diesel mind, and if you drive it like you stole it, you'll need to steal some money to run it!
All in all thought, it's a really nice drive, it looks like it just came out of the factory, bar a few gaskets on the wheel arches popping out, but all the electrics work like a dream!
The car handles like a rock in 4 wheel drive mode, but can sometimes kick out in 2 wheel drive mode in the wet, so careful cornering is advised!
The air vent in the centre console has popped out at the left hand side, and this is said to be a common problem, but nothing a bit of strong glue couldn't take care of!
The technical info. & common issues are most appreciated. What is the average fuel consumption? Also, can you tell me the towing capacity of this "beast"?
