Another reader’s story, this time from Bwiko Kyriakos in Tanzania. Specifically the city of Dar es Salaam which sits on the eastern coast of the country.
I don’t know how common this colour of 2.8 TD Pajero is, but I’ve certainly not seen many like this. Looks great though and I’ll let Bwiko tell you about it in his own words:
Well I bought my beast in 2006 for about $2,000/- and I have been happy with
it ever since. Yeah it was a bargain but this fellow was living the country
in hurry and bam I got it;It’s a 4-cylinder turbo charged and it runs like hell and when the rough
gets tough…..it’s in there…I have pushed it and it performs to my
wildest expectations knowing the African roads and all…It has been a joy of my short life I would say.

Hi Davis,
Comparably some of the spare parts are expensive than that of Toyota but are affordable. The thing is most if not all the parts for Pajero are genuine and very durable compared to that of Toyota. Some of the when fixed they are for eve.
Just go for it, is a comfortable car.

Hi,
I have a Mitsubishi Shogun that I bought from someone who imported it from UK. I’m currently looking for a Gearbox Vehicle Speed Sensor and a Gearbox Reverse Backlight Switch (Used or new. May I get a help in getting these parts?
Generally, the Mitsubishi vehicles are so good and comfortable and I wouldn’t like to lose one. Even those who have alredy used them can witness
