NS Pajero Questions

Care to explain to me why Mitsi don't offer a winch-compatible 'roo bar as a factory accessory? Just askin' is all. And if mine is one Monday or Friday car and there are 52 Mondays and 52 Fridays in a year, wouldn't that worry you?

It worries me, 'coz I'm the one that lost thousands of dollars not having a vehicle available when I needed it.

I know that for every vehicle on the road there are hundreds, if not thousands, who have a great run with them, bit I have to tell you - it is a real bitch when you get the one that is an absolute dog.

Instead of advising the bloke who is thinking of getting one to ignore the bad reports, wouldn't you be more of a friend if you asked him to at least investigate the issues?

I've done my bit. I've given the benefit of my experience...and it has not been a good one. Now only they can decide. But I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to ignore what is clearly a practical point of view of at least one (actually two) people's experiences with Pajeros. It all goes into the mix.

I for one would not like to be halfway across the Simmo and have the problems I did.

I'm.away, this was not a reply to you in particular, I didn't see your reply to the previous post before I answered this one. I'm just sick of people in general who bag a vehicle that I have found to be extremely reliable. A lot of the ones who do that do it with no experience of their own, just repeat what they have "heard" from some mate of a mate.

I have done a fair bit of touring, towing and 4wding with mine and know lots of others who have done the same. If you want to talk specifics of your post I have never before heard of the problems you have mentioned and I spend quite a bit of time on this forum and on the Pajero club forum. If it was very common then it should have come up but if it has I have not seen it.

Perhaps you would like to start a post about Nissan 3 litre engines? Perhaps one about fragile LC100 front Diffs and suspensions? Perhaps I could talk about the suspension in my Ford station wagon that gave up before 20k and the problems with getting warranty? Every type of vehicle has some problems that some poor one of us gets caught with. That's the point I was trying to make.

My advise was to wait for the response from Mitsubishi that he said he was waiting for before he believed anything else. Ask them about the bar, not me, I don't sell them. Buy one aftermarket anyway if you need it. And why should you get upset if I tell someone my good experiences with the make? You have just told everyone your bad and as you said it all goes in the mix.

By the way the Monday and Friday cars are a common explanation for warranty problems and good runs with cars over many years and is not my phrase. Monday cars are supposed to be good, Friday cars are supposed to be bad and it doesn't matter what make.

I would be happy to cross the Simpson in mine and would not expect any problems but that is my personal experience as is yours.
