Thread: Mitsubishi Broken Chassis

My 3.5 disco handles a 3 and a bit trailer on the main road.
its auto with no hi/low range lever conected.

but the owners manual states 1 tonne off road.

I'll stick to a straight six Jap turbodiesel thanks

yep had one of them and the disco is fast of the line at sedate throttle openings, and puts out more power and torque than the Patrol did

Legendary Nissan engine, but yes a bit underpowered in factory trim. They sound just right too, bit like that other legend, the 12HT...

C'mon Mat.......I would hardly call trying to launch a D2 into space 'normal offroading' .

it had a straight through exhaust at around 2 1/2 inches (disco has the centre muffler deleted) sounded great but what a pain to work on especially the alternator (3 new ones in 3 years )
looking at it reminded me of the UD engine PDT6 (same design bloke apparently)

Shamelessly stolen from the OL forum:
