  • Pajero Recall 13 Mar 2001 (News)
    But the automatic transmission change points are mapped differently for Japanese market Pajeros.

The cure is to fit the separate radiator and oil cooler of European market Shoguns and Pajeros.

  • Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Mitsubishi L200 Series 4 (2006-2015) 27 Nov 2019 (News)
    If it’s obviously been used in the mire then you might be wise to go and find another - there are plenty around. The L200 has massive towing capacity, but doing so obviously adds to the overall wear and tear to the transmission and engine. If it’s got a tow bar, ask what it’s towed and how often. Check the flatbed for damage: the L200 can carry over a tonne in its rear compartment, though if it’s done so regularly it will be obvious with lots of  scratches and scuff marks.
