I'd go with the otter too. I've heard of them ending up in gardens, coming along any sort of ditch, land drains, culverts or even hedgerows. If there's cover then they'll use it to get to where they're going!

Sorry to be a smart ass here, but it is the 2.8 engines that are prone to head gasket (usually around the EGR valve) and fuel pump seal failure, 2.5s are pretty sound all round. I've had pajeros for the last seven years a 2.5 and a 2.8, very good, capable and comfortable cars. Auto box is better as the sychro hubs tend to go in the manual box (what killed my 2.5 - £600 for a gearbox refurb). Well worth getting on the Pajero Owners Club forum @ www.pocuk.com/forums. Been a member there for well over 6 years and found it to be a great source of info. Banter is good too!

Go to the Pajero Owners Club @ www.pocuk.com/forums and have an ask in there. Whole section on Pinins or Juniors as the imports are called.
