caeser Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I had a Gen3 surf, intercooler, for nearly 7 years. I sold it about 9 months ago with 170,000 miles on the clock. 60,000 miles on it when I bought it. Never ever let me down. All I ever spent on it was normal wear and tear stuff ,tyres, brake pads. Mechanically still strong when I sold it. I sometimes wonder why I did sell it. It also towed a large caravan all over the country with the British superbikes for a few years. As well as being my shooting truck. It was a proper workhorse, but several years later it still looked good. This was it when I sold it.

I've recently bought an SSRG and it looks the same as yours - it's not yours though as mines got different lights!

796 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 The 3ltrs can have head gasket problems aswell people normally blame the radiators but the real problem like the pajeros is the viscous fan goes weak and doesnt keep them cool enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMON777 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 i take it its diesel mate.if its the 3 litre they are bullet proof but drink the diesel.if its the 2.5 id leave well alone. as being a jap import the 2.5 head is very thin and are prone to cracking over here.if the head has been changed then it should be fine but a tad sluggish hope that helps.

delburt0 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Yeh 3.0 gen 3 I actually ended up swapping it for my cynergy "long story" apart from the dent in the door and the bonnet it's just the job come up really nice inside and out ,adjusted the mileage from kilometers it's done about 88k miles..thought it was a r it's a n reg though.would imagine 25mpg as I drive like a girl my last terrano was 23 mpg and the jag I'm running is doing about 25mpg my grand Cherokee I had last yr was 17/19 mpg so I'm used to putting money in the tank,doesn't bother me if its doing a job..

caeser Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) i take it its diesel mate.if its the 3 litre they are bullet proof but drink the diesel. I'll have to disagree with you there pal. My 3.0ltr was, what I thought ,very good on diesel. Over 30 mpg all the time, except around town obviously. If I took it easy on the motorway, (less than 70mph average) it'd do 35mpg easily. Now whether thats because it was an intercooler or not, I don't know.

Now whether thats because it was an intercooler or not, I don't know. im happy at that I have not put any in yet or run it, I think there is still 1/2 tank in but anything over 25mpg is a bonus to me inter cooler will probably add 2/3 mpg depending on how it's drove I don't fly about, let the gearbox do the work.
