common problems with early to mid 90's pajeros

[TonyJZX]

btw. is it possible to engine convert these to something interesting? or is the FWD transaxle the problem?

[jesus]

she overheats

radiator is full of gunk, were pulling it out now and were gunna clean it out

seems theres no issue with the 4x4 system or the hub.

use the pajero manifolds and a gearbox adaptor plate to use a 2wd rwd gearbox and that's about it. Or find a 2wd triton V6 gearbox/running gear if such a thing exists.

mate its common for them to overheat cause the radiators are too small. go to any good radiator place and ask for it to be cleaned out and they will reccomend you get a 4 core radiator, not all that expensive.

and apart from the oil consumption problems keep an eye on the crank/pulley as mentioned above the keyway fucks up and youll need a new crank, which you cant get cause its common so you get another motor.

nah the radiator is all rusted out, its shit, not worth cleaning, so its off to the wreckers to get another one

rest of the cars good, except one of the tail lights is cracked

$2500 - bargain.

they'd be almost that much $$$ of scrap steel in the thing.

yeah I'm kinda stoked, in the last week Ive got a tandem car trailer and a car to tow it with. long term dream finally realized!

[Dave]

your rego bill must be fucking huge :D

[msmola2002]

Yeah but he saves money by not having to pay for a licence :D

[Paddington]

thats a bargain Ari.

oh, forgot, for some reason, mitsu magna and pajero power steering systems seem to be visited by the power steering fluid underpants gnomes who mysteriously steal all of your power steering fluid. You just top it up again and it's fine. The Magna lost all of its overnight one time, filled it up the next day and it's been full ever since, and that was 2 years ago.

I got a 94 2800 turbo diesel , 360000 km. Got a "new" low km in workshop
when it finally spits dummy, Did a Cape York trip mid 06 no troubles, it
tows a four axle enclosed trailer mit race car, will tow it at 110 all day

[jesus]

picked up a new radiator today... couldnt find a second hand one at any wreckers

the bloke at the radiator shop said he does tons of them, thats good cause id rather swap a radiator than a head gasket

[Do the safety dance.]

did you get a 4 core? should be readily available and prob a good idea if your gonna be towing.

[jesus]

new radiator installed

car now running a dream

$2500 for the car $300 for the radiator

not a bad deal at all if you ask me

[DrNick]

Not bad at all Simon!
