1987 Mitsubishi Pajero 2.5 4D56 turbo diesel
Summary:
Does what it says on the tin
Faults:
Air conditioning didn't work, needed nasty freon-type stuff to refill, so disconnected and all associated plumbing removed. Where I live, a heater is far more important :-)
General Comments:
Bought for offroad/workhorse use, rough as a bag of nails, but that's OK. Perfect for what I used it for. I used to do trials riding, the venues for this were farms/quarries/plantations etc. Sometimes, I've needed 4WD/low range just to get to the car park.
Had the power takeoff on the gearbox for winch, but not fitted, couldn't find one in a scrapyard.
Stuck on a set of Colway AT tyres, 265/75x15 IIRC, OK for road use.
Despite hard use, offroad/green laning, never missed a beat, nothing broke or fell off. (A friend of mine has a Freelander TD4, never goes offroad, always having problems with it, go figure)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
