Hi
Had one for over 9 years. There are a great reliable vehicle.

Cheers

I have an auto 2.8 TDI and love it for off road work. For some strange reason they have a lot of trouble with these vehicles blowing head gaskets in the UK. Almost unheard of down here though.

.

I have a friend with a 96.
It has done 300KK plus and has had few problems.
Glow plugs seem to go regularly, and he had to replace the clutch and gearbox bearings at about 200KK or so, but that is it.
IMHO it's a rough riding, coarse noisy old thing, but it is still on the original shocks.

Had mine for five years.
It's done everything I have wanted to do. They're a very underated vehicle.
The only real problem is a lack of power (compared to todays diesels anyway).
Have heard of problems with heads going but this is not a common theme for the most part.
Given a 2" suspension lift and a decent set of tyres and they'll get you just about anywhere up to grade 3 tracks ( and a bit beyond sometimes)
They're hard to find so have a real good look at the vehicle and make sure you know it's full history.

Lady at work had one and had the head go twice in under 150k and was on its way again when she traded it. Obviously going by the above replys hers may have been one of the bad ones. Personally I think all pajeros are a great vehicle and very underated. As said above been that bit of an older vehicle give it a good going over, and service history a must. There is one here where I live and is in exceptional condition for its age and the lady owner has had zero trouble with it. She said a bit under powered (she's obviously never had a 2.8D hilux) for towing their van but still a great vehicle. Add a front diff lock and you will have a very capable off road vehicle, the rear limo's on the mitsi's are up there with the patrols, but may need an adjustment due to age and klms, but either way would be a better LSD then Toyota's.
