Moorland Keeper 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a Mitsy Challenger 2.8TD, which is exactly the same as the shogun sport apart from the engine, I've had nothing but pleasure from mine and is ultra reliable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moorland Keeper 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) cheers mate,,,didnt know there was a 2.8..scotty Yes, basically the Challenger is an import and because it proved so popular Mitsubishi officially released it as a UK spec vehicle and re badged it as a Shogun Sport using a 2.5 engine, which incidently has a timing belt as opposed to a chain on the 2.8 4m40 motor. This is my challenger, 1996 on a P reg, absolutely identical to a lot of late model Shogun Sports. A very nice vehicle through and through but I'm going to sell her soon and get another Daihatsu Fourtrak as I miss my other one that I sold not so long ago to another forum member.

saxosportsaxo 2 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have a SWB shogun 3.2 warrior and it's a really good 4x4....... Pulls like a train, and getting a good mpg (32) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ali N 0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I had a swb 3.2 shogun 02 reg. Pull well, accelerated well. Heavy on the juice, low twenties 25 at best, I thought expensive to service and repair. Wife did one trip to glasgow and back and vowed never to get in it again, as she reckoned the seats were so uncomfy. Good off road, especially with All terrains on. Lots of folk think they are great, but for me I would have to look at something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian292 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 We have an 04 plate Shogun Sport, Warrior spec. Good car, plenty of power,nice to drive and very reliable so far. Just a bit thirsty, especially with the caravan on the back. And has daft 18'' wheels with expensive tyres. I've been told that a remapped ECU will help the fuel consumption, but I haven't looked into that properly yet. Reagrds, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
