Some Advice please

Mutz:
Not unless its stated on a sticker somewhere, would certainly have it changed to be on the safe side.

rangerider:
There is a major issue with the crankshaft pulley on the 2.5 engine, Many were fixed but not all. With the engine running look for any sign of wobble on the bottom pulley. Any wobble negotiate hard or turn and walk.

With no history of a cambelt change, bank on having it done ASAP. round here that would cost about £250 so start by negotiating 300 off the price for that alone. It is almost impossible to tell visually how old a cambelt really is, even if you do strip off all the covers. There may be a sticker on the cover, or maybe elsewhere under the bonnet with a change date & mileage, but personally it is something I would have done regardless, failed cambelt=new engine near as dammit :(

LandRoger:
The MMC on the back door is simply Mitsubishi Motor Company, nothing to do with imports etc, the 2.5 is quite gutless the 2.8 is quicker but much
thirstier - the V6 petrol is probably the best model quick and fairly good on fuel, think you should offer 2,350 for the one your looking at, good luck with your buy-nice motors easy to live with ,and a certain presance on the road,

Tiny Tim:
UK spec Shoguns dont't have MMC badge but Pajeros do and all Pajeros are imports - otherwiuse they are Shoguns

2.5 has timing belt and pulley issues to watch for but if no history allow for changing timing belt, balance belt and pulley & bolt etc. Change is a must at 90,000 km.

Pulley alone is £175 plus VAT so bargain hard.

Sluggish ?
My SWB didn't used to be slow (is atm) but this can be indication of other problems such as injectors need changing (every 50,000 km), turbo not working, worn diesel pump seals or blocked exhaust.

For that age I would aim for £2,500 with belts, pulley and bolt changhed.

Hth

Btw -- normally a wealth of info - service times and job time rates on www.pajerouk.co.uk but the site is down atm  :cry:

ALL Mitsi 2.5td s are gutless compaired with most other engines of this type! just take a look at any group test involving the 2.5 Mitsi motor,
I have been driving a 2006 2.5 L 200 its just all show no go,sluggish is the kindest way to describe it, the turbo works the exhaust is clean and the handbrake is off, :roll:  :roll:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:which is a pity because its a nice motor-think the petrol version the Triton? is the way to go-i am looking to sell my 2.5td and go for a V6 pet,
