1994 Mitsubishi Pajero GL review from Australia and New Zealand

Transfer case rebuild. 205,000km. the transfer case locked into low range.

Water pump replaced 235,000km.

Injector pump O ring replaced 235,000km.

I have friends with other model four wheel drives like Toyota landcruisers and hiluxes. I have been 4wding where they have got bogged or needed 2-3 attempts while I wait on the other side for them to get through. I find the torque of the diesel impressive. I towed a Toyota Hilux 15km on a heavy sand track and down a beach at high tide, I did all this tow in 4 low at 4,000 - 4,500 rpm. The temperature didn't rise and the engine ran smoother than ever. My Pajero is the base model GL and has a naturally aspirated 2.8 litre diesel (non turbo). I would prefer a turbo diesel and next 4wd will be. Sometimes you're caught between gears particularly 2nd and 3rd where you're over revving or under revving. Although, a couple of things have gone like the transfer case and water pump and injector pump O ring, though the kilometres suggest more wear and tear. I have a 4wd to use it, this is definitely not a Toorak tractor.
