I saw noticed a Pajero for the first time the other day.  noooo: Not a patch on the real thing I thought.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

The top car park up 'me 'ill' was full of 4WD's only yesterday afternoon.
About 8 of us in total, ALL Jap stuff including a Pajero.
Not a LR in sight. noooo:

They were all down the botttom of the road with the bonnets up. lol:
My faith in LR was totally destroyed because of the problems I had with that Disco last year and before.
Soooooo comfy though, which was a bit of a plus whilst waiting for Green Flag. whistle:

I love my Pajero - 3.2 tdi, will go anywhere... 7 years old, 130,000 Km on the clock and never missed a beat....  cloud9:

The one I spotted looked very small and a bit "clunky". All square corners and bits to catch on gate posts and things. Bumpers looked a bit like angle iron with squared edges, if you know what I mean. It had an import number plate so I have no idea how old it was but the overall impression was of a small old fashioned imitation Suzuki. It was the number plate that caught my eye and then I thought WTF is that? The badge on the arse end said PAJERO and that is when I made the connection with your beloved vehicle. "Surely not noooo:" I thought ...... I have since Googled Pajero and see that they have improved the styling considerably.

Took some finding that picture I can tell you ...... And the clutch has been replaced. Car is now driving like a dream  cloud9:

There is an on-going debate with the Warranty Company about the definition of "Fair wear and tear" and "In service deterioration"
I maintain that "In service deterioration" starts the minute the vehicle drives off the production line and that it is an unreasonable clause to invoke, particularly as it does not appear in the terms and conditions of the warranty. Nor do I agree that "Fair wear and tear" should completely burn out a clutch in 44,000 miles. We are going to arbitration.
