Medic1281 Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 From what I understand they want to introduce different brands to the uk with an eye on the electric market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Given the atrocious way my Pinin rotted away I wouldn't buy a new Mitsi even if IÂ could afford it. I think its a scandal that car dealers knowingly import cars for use on salted roads that have not been undersealed. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a scandal that car dealers knowingly import cars for use on salted roads that have not been undersealed.  In which case, I must have been most fortunate with my 51 plated 2L Pinin bought as ex demonstrator and run for about 10 years with no real problems whilst in my possession. Passed all MOTs with flying colours, no mention of rust. The only problem I had was that I regularly used to damage or break the exhaust on rough ground due to its low clearance. Quoted new exhaust at about £800, but my local garage guy welded it up three times over time for 40 quid a go. Great little motor on and off road. I have heard that they were very prone to rusting, but presumably I was very lucky. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow243 Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 i only saw it happen to pinin some of the shogun engines are rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The 1.8 GDI engines also used to tick over very badly due to soot build up in the carb and manifold. Old Boggy - Brother has a P reg Pajero that to be fair has very little rust - but he has it waxoiled frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnytheboy Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 They legally only have to supply parts and servicing for upto 3 years after the vehicle was sold so I would think the parts infrastructure will crash on its head, wouldn’t want to be owning a reasonably new Mitsubishi just now! Watch the RV plummet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
