The Mitsubishi Pajero is a very good & strong vehicle, I've got one myself, it's a 2.8td had mine for 10 years, I drove it from London to Shrewsbury and back, a total of 600 miles 6 hours of motorway driving, still going strong and it hasn't let me down, passed its MOT no problem, Thanks for sharing this video.
This is the car of my early childhood! This car brings back a lot of memories for me. My parents had one when I was a small child, until the engine blew up and it was taken away by a breakdown lorry never to be seen again.
To be fair to the Pajero, it came in first and won the Paris Dakar Rally back in 1983. Plus, it's the most successful compared to its competitors up to today. It's got rich rallying history, not just for heavy off road situations lol. I'll leave the defender to that
I live in the Amazonas in South America. I love my Pajero 4x4, 2.8 Turbo Diesel Intercooler from 1994. NB: Good maintenance is key however, and the tiers are not cheap. Ha, ha, ha. PS: Certain parts like gearbox oil filter, I must import from Japan.
great video. unfortunately I do wish there was some actual off roading done. I know it's capable as I gre up with the Pajero (Montero) here in the states, and now own one. unfortunately, it is highly underrated.
@@dontstopwhenuaretiredstopw3265 Reliability is a matter of opinion. Mercedes trucks like the Unimog are used in Siberia or other very harsh climates without a problem. The working division of the G class is equally as good off road and reliable as a Land cruiser or anything else. The parts may be more expensive to get but that has nothing to do with the vehicle's reliability
I prefer the v6 models they don’t have much power but I think they sound better and I noticed this one has fixed side glass on the back rather then the sliding glass
That's because the V6 is a UK supplied Shogun with the split side windows. The Pajero came with the single piece side window. I agree the V6 is better, and with fuel prices today more economical than the Diesel, mental. 👍
Yeah when you posted this comment you could get a decent Evolution for about £12,000 with low miles. Fast forward to 2022 you can get a decent Pajero Evolution with low miles for about £35,000 - £40,000.
@@RUX70N It's insane how much prices have gone up, particularly in the JDM market. There are very few cars that have remained bargains. Having said that I spoke to a guy who owned an incredibly rare Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL Spyder, he had the car advertised for months & eventually sold it for 5k. He took a massive hit on that car.
@@Zerofightervi I know what you mean, hindsight is a great thing. Sold my Subaru WRX STI type r for buttons over 10 year ago now they are worth silly money. like you say same with the 3000 gt they are starting to creep up and the 300zx. You could pick decent examples of these for nothing a few years back. Was offered a 22b from a work mate for around 20k about 12 years ago now, but it would have meant taking out a loan so I knocked it back, would have been better than money in the bank. 😩
@@RUX70N I sold my Evo IV about 10 years ago, really good condition & near standard condition too. £3500, these days I see IVs up around 12k for ones in worse condition than mine. There's a bloke around my way who has a Skyline R33 N1 spec, like a Evo RS or STI RA. Worth a fortune now. I always knew these cars would eventually go up in value but not to this extent. R34 GT-Rs are 6 figures!
I guess the idea is that when its loaded for off road travel you will want a stiffer shock to control body roll. I honestly doubt it has the 25 yr old adjustable shocks, Mine doesn't. Great rig.
Good video, Obviously would have preferred a bit of off roading but never the less it was still good. You loved saying 'jacked up' though didn't you lol
I have one of these old trucks mine is a 1994 2.8 tdi I've had a lot of problems with mine and now it's developed a coolant leak somewhere the back of the water pump I don't drive mine hard and get about 25 mpg I paid £2400 for mine with a private number plate and lost count how much money I have spent on it in the three years of owning it.
yes you are right it was a lemon and a very sour one at that, i bought it off a friends partner who decided to have a have a vw beetle, i looked at several Pajero's the bodywork was well looked after, I will get there in the end it had a new turbo about a week before I bought i love this old big truck.
