lucky 578 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 miles there bombproof shame about the speed on the smaller engines though... If anyone buys a mitsu shogun/pajero, toyota hilux/surf, daihatsu fourtrak and you get a half decent example, look no further, they will get you anywhere with the right tyres and all are reliable workhorses.. the mitsu 2.5td engine has stood the test of time, it was used in the 91 shoguns not sure about even earlier and still used up until the 2005 model l200s I'm sure before the new shape and style of DI engine replaced it, its just keeps going.. ps most of the newer engines the last few years Direct-injection "common rail" diesel engines require really clean pump fuel..the benefits being quieter engine noise, improved power and economy and lower emissions...older diesel engines you just throw anything in though.. i agree mate, i've just sold my old shogun (1990 2.5 td) and never had any problems at all with it really, but it was time for a change Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RatSnatcher 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I just bought a jeep cherokee 2.5 TD.........I was looking for a Fourtrak but all I could find was rust buckets so I bought a Jeep, It doing 30+ to the gallon has Cruise control full leather interior (easy to wipe down than cloth) Electric motored heated seats with more positions than Annabel Chong No rust as the body is galvanised And a bit wider then the fourtrak for better comfort Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RatSnatcher 0 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well all I can say I am happy with what I got it, it feels solid and seems to handle ok on the road. And Accelerates pretty quick, I cant complain at all. Off-road I have tried it yet , I’ve been doing a complete fluid change on it over the last week when I have had time still got to do the front axel before I start giving it some abuse, like Jack says they have a excellent pedigree for off road if not the best……try one I did and when you start looking you see stacks about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
