.philmypower. Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi guys I'm going to view this on sat, not to good with cars so what are your opinions on the vehicle? What they like off road? What mpg should I expect? I will be using it for lamping and pulling a twin axel trailer usually full of logs. This is the cars description:- hi selling my beloved pajero as we have decided 2 go back 2 just having 1 vehicle, this is in good condition and no problems engine wise, recently towed 24ft twin wheel caravan all round yorkshire with no probs, vehicle has mot and tax, recently had new cylinder head and head gaskets fitted, 2 new batteries, new cambelt fitted when head changed, new front brake pads, has quite a lot of service history with it, has tow bar and duel electrics on it, full leather interior with no rips or tears in it, its an all round great 4x4 Thanks.

.philmypower. Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sorry its a Diesel, automatic. 2.6l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sorry its a Diesel, automatic. 2.6l I have a 2.8 automatic and find it good off road and towing. Not the best on diesel but runs well on a waste cooking oil mix. Find out if it is an import before you buy as the insurance for some reason is higher though you could use that to try and knock a few pounds off. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 If you're towing go for a 2.8 I've got a 2.5 swb and a 2.8 lwb both happy to run on de-watered/filtered waste veg oil, or veg oil at less than £1 per ltr. thinned with reg unleaded gas this time of year.
