Good morning gents. I hope the weather is kind to you. I am just off out to strip out the 4x4 as it is soaking wet inside and one door is full of water as I can hear it slopping around inside. The nephews borrowed it whilst I was away and I know they drove through a couple of rivers. I cant blame it on the plenums as it does not have any. Catch you later

It's a Mitsubishi Pajero she was a great workhorse, pulled like a train and still would have been but insurance company wrote her off due to age..

Still wouldn't have me rover so there is a plus side..

Took her all over Europe and even a couple of trips to North Africa..

Pajero's Very popular in Kenya. Agree with everything you say Nigel. I love them particularly the ones which are at least 10 years old as they just go on and on. Beat them up and they can take the hard knocks. The new ones are push button/dial in auto 4 x 4, electrics plus plus gimmicks and I wonder how long they will last.

I agree the MK2s up to 98 are indestructible.. I imported that one from Japan in 2004 it was a 94 2.8td with 16kmiles on the clock had 125k miles in the end. It was owned by a manager for mitsubishi, and stayed in Osaka all its life.. I know this as I found his work pass and by the car pass on the windscreen. It stay immaculate and everything worked.. In all that time apart from tyres I only spent £600 on her replacing the head and HG 2 years ago.

The super select 4wd system is the best I have know. It's no the wonder they dominated the Paris Dakar it was good in mud but better in sand lol 😈

I rescued two new ones a couple of winters ago. These electronic 4x4 systems are not as good

Used to put a smile on my face when ever I rescued a Landie though.. No offence to any one on here.. If they own a Landie

I am going to be provocative and live near to the edge for a change lol

It is shame that the british car industry from that period had not the reputation for reliability and endurance which the Japanese had earned. Your Pajero would have been a typical example from that era.
