Buying a Paj

(1/5) > >>

JT:
Okay i currently have a 200tdi discovery and its leaking me off so im getting rid and getting a paj, my mum used to have one and i like that and its different and doesnt have the green oval on the front,

SO

Which one would you say is the best? I want a SWB but engine and box:

2.5 auto?
2.5 manual?
2.8 auto?
2.8 manual?

Personally i was thinking a 2.8 auto due to the fact i like autos as im lazy and i just like them to drive also it would be easier to find a replacment if need be but will it then struggle off road? also any features some have that i should be looking for?

Cheers Jack  :D

3.0 V6 EVERYTIME!!!!!........its as economical as a diesel (20mpg petrol/23mpg diesel...work it out!!!),cheaper to buy,faster,has an air locker as standard,quieter and if you cant afford the juice you can gas it(you cant do that with a diesel) more toys than a diesel :D

I'd pretty much agree - of the ones you've listed go with the 2.8 engine (newer, smoother, 125hp instead of 90, better gearbox, cam chain not belt). Auto is excellent on and off road and manual Pajeros are difficult to find. Even the 2.8 is fairly sedate, though - 0-60 is nearly 20 seconds. It will cruise nicely at 60-80, it's just takes time to get there!

The 3l and 3.5 V6 engines are a big step up, though, and all of the feedback I've seen on the Pajero forums is that they are no more thirsty unless you drive them flat out everywhere.

The Pajero forums, http://www.pocuk.co.uk and htttp://www.pajerouk.co.uk are great resources for support, too.

I was really pleased with mine for the 3 1/12 years and 60,000 miles I had it - I only changed it for the Land Cruiser because it wasn't practical to continue trying to run my Brit registered, Jap import, right hand drive car in Greece!

interesting.... but what is a v6 like in water? i go in water alot so thats why i didnt want to go near a petrol also i cant imagine i will get insured on a v6 im only 17 lol but i can get insured on a 2.8  :dance:

my mates just bought a 3.0 V6 and i have a 3.5V6 (for sale) and there is no distributor as such,it uses coil packs which are right at the top of the head so unless you want to completely submerge the engine they should be ok for wading unless you do summat drastic and you can get a snorkel from safari,the only drawback with a shogun is the torsion bar front  suspension (for articulation) but the air locker would more than make up for that!....i have had landies but theres no way i would buy another!jap motors are in a different league as far as build quality is concerned :)
