1996 Mitsubishi Shogun GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A beast of a motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car except one thing, and that I think is common amongst 2.8 TD M's engine, and that is the dreaded fuel pump seals.
Other than general service, 130 pounds was spent on the exhaust.
General comments?
The ride can be a bit bumpy, but it is a motor with a high centre of gravity, this tends to throw you about a bit going a bit quick into a road.
It has good performance. The turbo helps in a big way.
The interior is set for practicality; if you want luxury, then maybe an Pajero Exceed would be for you.
Can be a bit juicy if you floor it; my one does 17mpg, but I suppose the fuel pump maybe causing that.. the only motor I'd swap for this is the higher spec Exceed or a Mercedes 420 SEL...
If you really really need one, buy it, it won't disappoint you, but watch out for the pump seals though, eventually they can bugger you, and at £500 to cure the issue, it is a hard buggering.
