hey there guys, came across this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... otohosting
on ebay and thought.... thats exactly what i want, something i can go camping in, sleep in, and carry my motorbike in if need be, few questions, the 2.5 is essentially the pajero motor correct? on his ad he reckons temp went up to about 60% on the highway?? what could cause this?

also...never driven a auto fourbie before... only manual. will this be....well, crap? or will it still be fairly comfortable/capable on and off road( mild mild off road, moreton, fraser etc..)

and what sort of fuel figures should i expect from this?

thanks very much!

That looks to have been a seriously HARD 175 thou it's done... I'd believe it more if they'd only wound it back to 250 thou...

From the words, it appears the bloke found it, and decided to sell it. Weird.

Swerve, is my advice. (disclaimer: i know very little about these engines, but have been told they aren't identical to the turb paj... If only Mitsi had distributed the turDeis challenger...)
