I do know that all Bluemoon Pajeros have the lift and the winter pack though. It's in the original brochure. Not sure about your point with all 2.8s and 3.0s having the lift though. I'll have to ask around about that one. I take your point about the winter pack and I’m not going to disagree with you as the winter pack is a notorious minefield of arguments!

The tyres create more of a whirr than a roar and never bothered me at all. Certainly no vibration and you can only hear them with the windows down. There’s a lot of crap for sale, that’s for sure.

Oil literally dropping out of it, OD wasn't working correctly, kickdown not working, looked like oil coming out of the intercooler so possibly a shot turbo. I was rather annoyed, as I had been promised it was in perfect condition and travelled 2 hours to pick it up. I guess I only wasted diesel, and not a significant amount of a lemon Pajero. Good to hear that all Bluemoons have the Winter Pack, thus also the body lift. I am waiting for pictures of the second one I am viewing, as I do not like the garage's attitude selling the first one, and it is missing the long gold stripe under the windows. Also the milage is a little high (150,000) and it has the mph converter, not the face stuck over, so possibly a good deal of those "miles" are indeed miles. Interior does luck clean though and the steering wheel is not worn. Another selling point for me regarding the Bluemoon is the different interior, much better than the standard affair. How do you find the tyre roar with the Maxxis? Bearable? I will be doing some 300ish mile trips to Scotland towing, what do you think? (Turning the stereo does work, I guess) Thanks. No it wasn’t.

Should be able to push 80 even with the bigger tyres. I've known 2.5s do 90! If they're genuine Bluemoons then they will have the Winter Pack and any Paj with the Winter Pack has a body lift, otherwise it ain't a Winter Pack! Yeah, busy site is Pocuk, but I still learn a lot there. That 2.8 definitely wasn’t right. Should be able to push 80 even with the bigger tyres. I’ve known 2.5s do 90!

This was with standard wheels and tyres. I walked away from the deal, as it wasn't right. I intend on getting the same tyres for mine (when I get one that is). I am looking at 2 Bluemoons now, and would really like to get one of these. They still demand a little premium, which I don't really like lol! Best colour in my mind though, even better with the coded wheel arches, plus you get the little extras of the elusive "winter pack". I hope all the bluemoons have the body lift, as I should be able to just bolt the new wheels in, and then suffer with the speed. By the way, thanks for the quick reply! Stuff sometimes gets a bit lost on POCUK! Yeh, I drove a 2.8 at the weekend, and it struggled to get to 60! This was with standard wheels and tyres. I walked away from the deal, as it wasn’t right.

Pajeros aren't the fastest of vehicles anyway, but these tyres definitely make it slower in both acceleration and top speed. Having said that, you don't buy a Paj for speed! One other thing to mention is that it also alters the speedo reading, so you really need to check your speed using a sat-nav before adjusting the speedo reading in your head. Still love the tyres though! Hi Joe

How you finding the gearing with the larger tyres? Made much difference to the acceleration etc?
