Ok, Currently overthinking absolutely everything. The motor in my old vitara just came to a screeching halt. And we need a new family car, likely wont be purchased for a few months but getting my head in the game now.
For 99% of my driving a Pajero ticks the boxes.
- Family weekend outings, most weekends.
- Family Camping and touring, half dozen weekenders a year and a 3-4 week epic every other year.
- The final 1% is some of the Victorian high country's finest. (would really like to hear first hand how a gen3 or 4 goes on tracks similar to Burgoyne's pre-dozer or Hickeys or similar)
I'm likely shopping between a gen3 and a gen4, auto, diesel, sub 200,000k and the best/first car I think is priced well.
What I'm struggling to find is info around trim levels and which models came out with traction control and diff locks, can anyone point me towards a page that has this layed out for me? My google-foo has failed here.
Other than the fuel pump on the gen3's. are there any other big gotchya's? Same with Gen4's. DPF as per every other car on the market with one. and a few minor recall's.
Any maintenance I have to check that has been done or common fixes? Digging through the forums' there doesn't seem to be all that much, which after having a patrol on the list
seems odd.
