Diesel Pajero.

Yeah, I've had a manual NL Pajero for just on 3 years (bought new). Had no problems except a sticking 5th gear which was bloody annoying and fixed under warranty. Original equipment tyres - Yokahama - have just been replaced for the first time after 79,000k.

I have just clocked up 300,000 in an NG 2.5 TD. I know its not the motor your asking about but yours should be a better donk being newer etc. I have owned it for about 140,000 and have changed oil and filter every 5000. My biggest expenses have been overhauling the injector pump and injectors. I have done a fair bit of off road touring including Simpson desert etc and have overall been really happy. Hope this helps.

We have owned a GXL 96 turbo diesel since new and done 285,000klm. The only probelms have occured in the last 6 month - new clutch and a/c. Its starting to blow a bit of smoke and I'm about to trade it in on the new DiD series. I have had an offer of $12K trade and purchased it for $40K.
Good luck
