Very nice vehicle
Clutch. Reversing up a steep hill with heavy trailer. Not using low range.
Periodically won't start. Just goes dead, then 20 minutes later it will start.
I do love this car.
Tows the trailer great.
Upholstery and carpets are holding up extremely well.

Well worth the money, hugely underrated
Nothing at all - car has been regularly serviced, but has yet to develop any serious problems.
Has had new tires, brake pads etc, but all standard wear and tear issues.
The 2.3 is not the fastest 4x4 around, but it is spacious, comfortable, easy to drive and very reliable.
It corners well (rear passengers aren't thrown around), is a high spec for the money and is really a very good vehicle.

A disaster
The brake system is extremely poor.
Fuel consumption is very high.
Acceleration is poor.
One must drive very slowly at all times in order to avoid accidents.

It is a large, tall, heavy 4x4 with an average engine not an F1 car.. you should try driving a 2.4 petrol LWB frontera, now theres a life threatening ;)
I have an 02 2.9 TD Musso as a work vehicle, and it's a tank!
Faults? None.
Spares required? None.
Had tyres, brake pads, lots of oil changes and lots of diesel.
Men I work with mostly have Pajeros (soft, troublesome and slow by comparison). Any time they get in with me, they can't believe how rapid it is and how good it pulls a heavy trailer. I hope people keep slating the Musso's, as it means I can keep quietly plugging along under the radar in mine. I've had Landcruisers, Fourtraks and Land Rovers in the past. I'll keep the Musso.
BTW, every mechanic and MOT tester I know says the same - "great engine in them Mussso jeeps".

Hi, did you ever find why the Musso 1998 engine cut out?
