Well I have gone to the dark side

[George130]

Just got the wife a Pajero. At least it's a step up from the Ford.

[LandyAndy]

Hi Edd
What year and what engine????
Andrew

[mcrover]

And I thought I was bad buying mine a Jeep.

[blitz]

mmm I bought mine a Prado she likes the disco but reckons I have modified it to much for her to drive. So I sort of won that one I think

[mark2]

My wife also has a Pajero - its a 3.5 petrol. Apart from regular oil changes, I havent had to do a THING to it in the last 50,000km and its now done 150k. Its great to drive and with the rear LSD surprises off road........I believe they are underrated vehicles.

They are a bit of a pain to work on compared with most jap stuff but at least they dont have to be worked on often............

I think I own a Land Rover because I get bored with cars that dont need working on...........

Hi Edd

Andrew

It's a 1988
Engine was a 2.6 but right now it's an empty engine bay.
I will be dropping a 2 or 2.6 petrol back in and putting it on gas.

[CraigE]

Put a V6 in it. They are dirt cheap to buy new. There is a mob in Perth that advertise them frequently for 3k new. I spoke to a guy at Wanneroo Mitsubishi when I had mine a long time ago and reckons the conversion is not very hard and in the end will work out cheaper than a 2.6. Dont go a 2litre, way too underpowered for the Pajero. Also be aware that a 2.6 out of a Magna while appearing the same has a timing belt where the Pajero motor has a timing chain and I have seen many Magna belts break usually at great expense.

Hey Edd
You dont want an 88 Trytoo 4x4 to keep it company(basically same vehicle underneath)?.Its complete, 2.5 tdi!!!!.
Not worth much,the freight would be a killer.
I will yell out if I end up wrecking it,may be some bits you need.
Andrew

[ak]

Your not the only one. Bought a Mazda 626 for my wife some time ago. It's been built proof for the last 5 years. Would love to have two Landies in the house-hold however my wife would drive me MAD whinging everytime someonething went wrong and had to be fixed.

Happy wife = Happy life.:)

I would pick it up but the fuel might kill me.
Used heaps today bringing back the Pajero. Good thing is I know the best towing speeds now.
Wonder how I would go doing the deserts with a car trailer and the trytoo on top:twisted::twisted::twisted:

[LandyAndy]

Went and saw the 2 wreckers in Narrogin today.1 offered me $200!!!!!!,the other is coming to have a look,I gave it a quick polish this arvo,looks good.The handbrake didnt belive in washing it.
Andrew

[Ace]

does it run ok LA, surely you could get more than that in a classifieds add, $500 would still be a cheapie for someone

[loanrangie]

Just trying to get SWMBO a 4by without spending any $$$ My Baby has cost me twice what my lease budget was! It was also a case of how much to sort her car out and what can I do for the same or less. No way I could find a corgi crusher that can be registered and relied on for 2-300 max.

Jap 4by $120 to buy Have the engine so cheap as.
Don't worry the trip home upset a few Yotas when we cruised past towing a Paj:twisted::twisted::twisted:

OK Loading the pics now.
And I have also washed my mouth out with soap for daring to park the Paj near the Defender instead of under it.

[sclarke]

Why a Paj??
You could have got a good Rangie on Gas for $3k

Ohhh the humanity of Cross Dressing....

Cos I don even have $1k to spare. Defer has taken all my dosh and then some. thats the reason I keep agonising over selling the Defender. If I sell it how will I ever get anything like it again.

Fair call......

Can i comment on a cheap reliable car...
Volvo 240 series...
Strong, reliable and safe, Ugly, but drive it like you stole it...
Price.... $500-$3000
$500 will still get you a good 80's model...

What was wrong with the 850??

[abaddonxi]

What was wrong with the 850??

Went for a test drive, wife went directly from behind the wheel of the Defender into the 850. Drove it for fifteen minutes, told me it was too much like a boat, preferred the Defender.

Got loaned 80s 240 after the Liberty was stolen, horrible boat. Heavy, slow, thirsty.

Bought her the Outback.

Rocket.

Except for a lapse of judgement in a Corolla for a year or so she's only ever owned Datsun 1600s, Subarus and Land Rovers.

Very sensible girl.
