    Ugh, nasty!! Sounds like a timebomb to me - I wonder how many other Pajero owners this has happened to?

    Worse still - I wonder how many times it's happend while driving?!?

    Was told it's very common. Earlier on it was caused by towing and off road use. As they age it just happens. There is a diff housing mod to strengthen them but I havn't chased it yet.

    Problem Solved!! (temporarily, at least)

    Sorry to resuscitate an old thread, but I thought some may be interested to know that I solved the problem for now - I bought a Suburban.

    9 seats, each as comfy as my armchairs at home, heaps of cargo space (i.e. at least 2m^3) behind the third row, plus a 6.5 litre turbo diesel V8!

    Of course a 3 tonne truck with IFS is no 'go-anywhere bush monster', so I'm still keen to get myself a landy as a 'weekend toy', but it will likely be either a Defender 90 or a 110 cab-chassis now as it won't need to cart the whole family at once.

    BTW, I'm curious - has anyone ever heard of a chev diesel V8 going into a Landy?

    You have my sympathies... The new 6.5 supposedly has most of the problems fixed, but I still wouldn't own one.

    Several people on here have owned 6.5 powered landies (and now wish they hadn't).

    There are a lot of better engine options.
