I have been looking at a 2.5ltr deisel turbo Pajero,is there any issues with these vehicles?
How well do they go off road,it seems very low in the diff....
How do they go when body/suspension lifted? (possibly tip?)
Any info or insight into these or Pajeros in general would be most appreciated....
PAJERO 2.5 turbo
As you mentiones it's a Japanes import/
A 2.5 TDi is NH and 1991-1992.
You may feel little bit luck of power for LWB 2.5.
If you find 2.8, it will be much better.
You really need test drive and check is it is smorky or not.
Some guys check nuts holding the side step for rust, that you can easily replace later.
Looks tidy from pics, but the price will be determind by Kms, I think.

Hiya. We have a '91 2.5 TDI. It's a really great wagon, aside from the fact that the motor was never properly maintained before we got it and is on the way out. We'll probably end up dropping a new motor in, because it's really too nice a vehicle to throw away!
Worn-out motor or not, it still goes surprisingly well, and is relatively economical. It's a fine highway cruiser, but gets a wee bit hot on the really hard hills when pushed (I'm talking REALLY hard hills, not steep streets). The Diesel goes through it a lot faster that way too.
Ours has been lifted, and is a great (and stable) off-road vehicle. We've not found any place it can't go, and we take our wagons into some very rugged territory (South Island high country). I guess because it has all the trimmings it feels fragile compared to the Land Cruisers, yet it's never broken anything yet.
Ours said 117,000 kms when we got it, but I doubt very much that the reading was accurate, but it's a risk you take, isn't it? The motor vehicle sales industry seems to be completely immune legally, so we're at their mercy.
Hope that helps.
Great ...thanks for that insight into the Mitsubishi....I am a bit of a Mistubishi fan thanks to my EVO VIII but have heard mixed stuff on the Pajero..
I guess its like evrything though there are always rumours,allthough eveybody seems to think that the Surfs and Hi-Lux is the best machine.
but because of that they seem to hold their price better...

IMHO, Pajero is the best of both worlds.
It is very good handling/comfort on the road and excellent at off-road as well. Most people surprised where this one can go.
I had 2.5 SWB (1991) as my first Pajero, but I decided to trade in for 2.8 for little more power. The 2.5 I had was little smoky on the stress as well.
Current one is the third, but I still like 2.8 as well as this one.
I recommend it, but do test drive if you can.

1994 Pajero V6 3000 SWB Manual
hi, the pajero is a good wagon but i woudl say that i have 1... to be honest if your looking to do alot of off roading in it then dont buy 1 get a nissian safri but if its going to be a family wagon & a now then off roader then the pajero is a top buy, but do be carefuly with the 2.5 as they tend to feel as if there always going up hill, so i would defently say go with the 2.8 or 3L V6 petrol
a manual trans but be good as well if you can find 1.
if you have alook at other international 4x4 site you will see that the lwb pajero is very good off the tarmac when set up.. it realy does depend how much your going to use it off the black stuff
hope this helps

Some good tips (although I can't comment re Nissan Safaris). My outfit uses Land Crusiers mostly. I don't enjoy taking these on long drives because they're a mite uncomfortable (and suck the gas like crazy), but the Pajero is great on the highway.
The 2.5 does sometimes feel a little underpowered on hills in the LWB (heavy wagon), but then our motor is on its last legs, so no surprises there! We'll most likely drop a 2.8 into it once the 2.5 finally dies.
The auto tranny is surprisingly capable, and it gives us *almost* enough engine-braking on the steepest downhills, but not quite. Also it's nice to know I'm not going to have the excitement of manual shifts when going up the scary bits!
It goes really well off-road. Probably the Land Cruisers can go the odd place that the Pajero can't, but I'm amazed and impressed at the places our shiny Pajero can get to (and out of again)!
hi, unfortunatly i have never done an engine change, but i would say the best and easiest thing to do is to keep with an mit's engine just because it will line up with the old engine mounts and with the price of diesel being about the same as petrol these days i'd look at either the 2.8 diesel or the 3L V6 i think the 3.5 Evo is slightly different but dont quote me on that so im not sure if it will fit.
You can buy a brand new engine, not used or reconditioned for a pajero for $5250. Thats bloody cheap.

Worth a ring to ask some questions i reckon.
Imported second hand diesel engines are usually around the $4000 to $4500 mark.
