ferguson_tom Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 If going for diesel try and get the 2.8 over the 2.5. As you probs know its just a shogun built for a different market so spares etc are easy to get hold of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you probs know its just a shogun built for a different market so spares etc are easy to get hold of. its a shogun with a different name quite right (for language reasons that the swear filter wont let me explain ) not all words mean the same in all lands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynny Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Iv'e got one it's a 2.5L SWB on a G plate, yes that's right a G plate it's done 160,000 km, it's a rust bucket and smells to high heaven, but the engine is sweet as a nut and runs on bio fuel, it's our foxing wagon, we did have the cills welded last year but hey ho it's 22 odd year old,a belting little shoot wagon.

BrowningDJC Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Find a good one and they are very good, had quite a few in the family over the years and had no problems what so ever! With a decent set of tyres a very good off roader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drayman Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I run a 2.8TG UK LWB Shogun (had a 2.5 Pajero some years ago). I keep thinking about parting with mine but it owes me nothing and does all I ask. Besides, full leather, air con etc ... doesn't seem worth changing. Fuel consumption is about 20mpg average. 1. Join the Pajero owners web site - really helpful bunch. 2. The 2.8TD suffers from head problems so check when you're buying. Replacement is ~ £1K if done by mechanic and done well (i.e. not a cheap ebay head). 3. Rear brakes can bind - known problem but not hard to fix yourself. If you run a Pajero rather than a UK Shogun then dealers will want to charge more for same parts and insurance for an import can be higher - need to shop around. Other than that it does what it says on the tin and generally a lot of car for not much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
