Blakloks 5 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Anybody had any experience with these vehicles they look tidy and roomy enough for a shooting bus! Are they sore on fuel and parts etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I have the 3.2DID Elegance. It's an excellent car. Not too bad on fuel on m'way...35 ish per gallon. I'm just putting it up for sale once i fit new brake pads and service it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Duncan 802 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Whats it like on average though, not on the motorway at 60mph? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blakloks 5 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Basically yeah things like the mpg the realability I don't even know how much they are to road tax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 They're tanks. The only things i've had to buy is tyres, service etc. It only has 46k on the clock mind you. 25 ish i would say around town. I can get from Paisley to the Dee in Aberdeen which is aprrox 150 mile for about 25 ish quid. I only really used it going fishing so i was mostly m'way driving with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blakloks 5 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Cheers mate they look a good sturdy country pursuit vehicle!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 1 of the best. The nightmare single track roads i've been on with it getting down to beats and it sails down them. Wish i had a tenner for the amount of people i've pulled out of snow with it also. I would certainly recommend them. I'm a bit gutted selling it to be honest but i just don't get the use out of it any more and at the time i bought it i needed the 7 seats but not any more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trentotter 158 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 hi mate,keep away from the 2.5 mitzy's,the engine's are crap.anytime after they reach 90,000 the crank pully's decide they want to part company with the crankshaft.. £1400 repair or a new engine(if you can find one)..look on ebay mate at all the spare's or repair's most of them have done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blakloks 5 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Cheers for that I was thinking of a 2.5 aswell ha! Don't really want to get anything bigger fuels to expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Cheers for that I was thinking of a 2.5 aswell ha! Don't really want to get anything bigger fuels to expensive There won't be much difference between the 2.5 and 3.2 in terms of fuel They're really not much different from any other type of car...keep your foot off the gas and it won't guzzle. For what they are, they are fairly decent on fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 If you can get one (easy enough) The 2.8 pajero is a much better option. The 2.5 is a great motor but the 2.8 is better, and a pajero is waaaay better than a shogun !!! lol,,, no rust, better gearbox, more toys etc etc They are pretty unburstable, heavy duty motors, they will do anything you want, and an import Pajero is only 200 quid road tax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trentotter 158 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Cheers for that I was thinking of a 2.5 aswell ha! Don't really want to get anything bigger fuels to expensive there's not much difference between the 2.8 and 2.5 fuel wise,but the 2.8 is a far better engine..i had a l200 and the krank pully went on it. when i looked into it its a common fault with the 2.5 engine,wether in the l200 or the shogun.so my advise is go for a 2.8 mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lampalurcher 47 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 My dads got the 3.2 an it's got about 200 thousand on the clock an it's never had a problem has half a ton off feed in the boot every week suspensions still fine never been stuck even on wet ground Evan towing a cow box with three killing weight beasts in really good vehicle an sits nice on the road compared to say a landrover a lot smoother an quieter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Night blaster 0 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Pajero, bomb proof just a little thirsty, my swb will go most places. Wish I had gone for the 2.8 wih more power! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wullz 408 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Same as Night Blaster, my SWB is a 1989 MK1 and its done 106,000 miles and its brilliant. Goes anywhere, very cheap to fix and maintainance is a scoosh, easiest car I've worked on. Brakes a doddle, half hour tops! Great wagons...only bother is they like diesel!!!
