Pajero Discussion
As the site gets busier people are emailing me and adding comments to certain posts. This is great - please continue! But some of the comments under certain posts haven’t been relevant to the post topic, so I thought I’d start a section where anything goes. I’ll move comments here from other posts if they aren’t really relevant to the post.
Please post a comment below if you just want to say hello, have a question about Pajeros, or simply want to let everyone know about your truck.

HI,
I have a Mitsubhishi Pajero 1999 model (4M40). It started emitting blak smoke, someone advised me that I should unplug the EGR valve which did the trik. But am worried, is there any side effects to the vehicle? Please advise.
Thanks,
Sue

I have a car cleanaire switch in my 94 swb Pajero and recently found a long cable from the switch, under the interior carpet unplugged.
Does anyone know where it is suppose to be plugged into?
Cheers

I have a 1992(K reg) mitsubishi pajero 2.5TD intercooler, can anyone tell me which is the best oil to use and the cheapest place to get it from.
Thanks

Hi Bryan
Getting to the matrix itself is a big job requiring removal of the whole dash. Takes many hours. I’d have a look at other parts of the system first. Try this:
Raise the front of the car with engine running, put heaters on full, leave radiator cap off and keep squeezing the top and bottom hoses. If this fails flush the matrix before trying to remove it.
Hope this helps - Tim

Hello, i have a question i am hoping you maybe able to help with. I have no heating on my pajero. Do you know where the heater matrix maybe located or who would be the best person to contact to find out details on locating and checking whether it needs replacing. Any herlp would be most apprecitated. Thank you, Bryan

Kailaan, I wouldn’t know about temperatures that low (thankfully!), but yes, Pajeros do have a few issues when the temperatures drop cold. But if it’s in good condition and serviced regularly I believe you should have no problems.
You should also consider finding one with the Winter Pack which mine has. Usually these will have a heated fuel filter which makes a big difference. The Winter Pack was originally designed to cope with cold temperatures in Japan, though I’m not sure how cold it gets there.

Tim,
Thanks for the advice. After having seen quite a few blogs about Paj’s having trouble starting in the cold it got me thinking. I am going to be moving to the Northern regions of Canada. And I was wondering if you thought the Pajero would hold up to Winters with -25 to -35 degree tempatures? I did see quite a few people in Finnland with diesel Paj’s, and they seem to be doing alright. Any advice would be great!!!
Kailaan.

Hi Kailaan, thanks for dropping by.
If prices are like they are here, then a 2.8 is hardly any more expensive than a 2.5 and overall the 2.8 is the better engine, especially if you are towing.
Towing capacity is a bit of a grey area. The handbook states:
Standard tow bar - 1800 kg braked
Heavy duty bar - 2500 kg braked
This is for 2.5 and 2.8. But I know people who happily tow much more than that. Much better with a LWB. Also you need to look at your local laws for that particular vehicle. I believe in the UK we can go up to 3.3 tonnes with it.
Hope this helps!
