Guys what can you say about the 3 door pajero in terms of:

Maintenance?
Fuel Efficiency?
Parts availability?

TIA!

I have an uncle who used to own a 1st gen 3 door Pajero M/T. At some point of its life, he had the original 4D56 engine transplanted with a 4M40 unit. Maintenance is simple, being an old school diesel, and the same as any same era 5 door Pajero. Fuel efficiency? My uncle reported 8km/L on average in lead-footed city driving. Parts for the Pajero are everywhere! You will never have a hard time looking for spare parts considering the numbers of these on the roads.

Yung bodystyle na yan is 93-97 I think... Most probably its a converted unit, so have the conversion checked especially since it's a subic unit sa plaka pa lang.

Look at the right side headlight yellowish tpos mukhang me tubig (I could be wrong?) Paint looks like hindi na original, dinamay pa yung grill sa ilalim ng skidplate, yung grill silver painted din orig should be chrome... hehehe

Parts? banawe marami Intercooler body & fieldmaster body halos same lang parts nila kaya di problem...

Maintenance? since old school diesel its not that hard change oil lang

FC kung 2.8-T 4M40 nasa 6km/l lang while yung 2.5 4d56-T around 8-9km/l

That's from from what I know

Sir pano mo nalamang subic ito sa plaka pa lang?

Plates starting from R indicates a Subic registered unit, while a B-plate indicates a Cagayan registered unit. Cars with these plates are usually converted.

My uncle used to have a 1st gen 3 door Pajero. Somehow he managed to blow up the original 4D56 engine and so swapped it with a 4M40 engine, while still using a manual transmission. This combo gets him around 8km/L city, lead footed driving.

plates beginning with R & C, minsan meron din yung mga X din sa diliman cguro 1st registration nun. Wla rin nilabas na 3-door na intercooler body pejero saten. Gen 1 box type lang. babyfender mirror nasa driver side din, dapat nasa passenger side yan.

Ahh ganun ba. Bumili kasi kami ng 2nd hand 3 door pajero 3 years ago. X naman start ng plate. Ayun ang bagal bagal tapos hina ng headlight. Ingay pa. Todo apak na sa gas wala pa din. 100km/h lang siguro top speed tapos ang tagal tagal pa umabot. Hahaha. E ayaw ng mama ko mag benta ng sasakyan dahil pangsusugal lang daw ng papa ko hehehe.
