I could well be after a PAJ

[GREENI]

I want a winter 'hack' for the wife,
thinking of a 2.8 tdi auto swb....
I know Solihull products very well, but not stuff made by Hoo Flung Dung..
Any pointers appreciated please....

:lol: just go buy one ,you will have two sets of tools,dirty well used ones for landrover,clean shiny ones for mits asyou will never need them :lol:

I beg to differ ....

We bought 2 vehicles last March .. one was a Mitsi, one a black oval. One of them has had to have a lot of work done on the g/box and engine - and it WASN'T the black oval ....

Get an import, thats as new into this country as possible, get it undersealed, get it fully serviced(coolant especially) Theyre great! Ive got a Mk2 2.8 auto swb (an XR II  to give it its proper name) and I love it.

Make sure its secure tho, they do get nicked :roll:

Rolla

ps, try sitting at 70 on the motorway having a quiet chat with the passenger. Then try it in a 90.............I could fall asleep in the Paj, its so quiet and smooth.

hehehe..not ALL Land Rovers are 90's :) But I know what you mean .. I had a loan TD5 van ... at 70 we gave up talking .. and we had no idea what the stereo was for.  :twisted:

There is NO competition....A 90 for me forever...
But, for shopping, the odd lane on the way home, and a car for the MRS that I won't mind getting in, it could well be a Paj...
I hear you about the underseal, been looking at a few lately, and they all seem to be made of Weetabix !!!

Cheers for your comments...

Truth is, I want her have one, she wants a LARA Tomb Raider, but I want a MAAAHHOOOSSIVE GARAGE built, so the LTR is a smidge to much for now !!!

I've got a Landy and a Paj, and it's the best combo you can have.  But don't rule out a V6 as the economy figures are about the same, but they're much nicer to drive.  I've had 5 Pajeros and the last 2 have been petrol and there's no way I'd go back to a diesel.

Mmm, seen a V6 that looked ok, you just answered a question for me, cheers !

remember the insurance cost more on a pajero than a shogun plus you are limited to where you can insure it.
if you get a new import you will have to have a thatchem approved immobilizer fitted to insure it.

ive got a 17 year old pajero 2.5 swb mk1 mix and ive had no serious probs with it plus it loves veg oil if you can find a 2.8 manual swb you will be laughing they are hard to find as they are wicked motors
