The Pajero was first introduced as a prototype at around 1978 and first showed at Tokyo motor show in 1981. Three-door, short-wheelbase model first released for sale in 1982.
It was arguably the most comfortable and car-like 4-wheel drive made in Japan at the time. IMHO, the first Japanese car to bridge the gap between a 4 wheel-drive and SUV properly. Independent suspension at the front was revolutionary at the time for a 4WD. The rear end had coil sprung suspension with a solid axel. I still remember how modern the cockpit was back in late 80`s, even the instrument cluster was so nicely made. The Top Spec Super-wagon with a big sunroof was just fantastic at the time.
This was a massive advancement (imagine the millions spent on Research and Development for such a major model change) from Mitsubishi, from this:
To This:
Remember this was when Toyota was still producing FJ/BJ 40`s and 60`s. These had leaf spring (dunu-kola) suspension in both front and rear and were like horse carts compared to the Pajero back then (arguably the FJ 60`s had better interior). Even the later model J70 which came out in 1984 was inferior to the Pajero in comfort and relative luxury.
Even the Range Rover was quite utilitarian back in 1982 with two solid axels with coil sprung suspension both front and back. 40 years later, I have personally seen how well made Pajero interior is, when compared to a Range Rover. Japanese plastics and rubbers are of better quality to survive 40 years. Range Rover interiors are mostly deteriorated after 40 years.

4DR එකක් පදින්නේ. ආපු විදියටමයි තාම තියෙන්නේ. පවර් කරලවත් නෑ. මීට වඩා අන්කම්ෆටබල් වාහනයක් නම් නෑ.
I only trust the warranty provided by Holden Australia. It's them who recommended this product, and I am totally happy with the results.There's a snake oil ad if I've ever seen one
Not sure if the "results" has anything to do with it honestly
Besides, chances are it's the dealership who offered said unit, not Holden
I've never ever seen an electronic rust protection device offered in any of the accessory lists offered by an automobile manufacturer

get an 80's Hilux ( LN46/106) solid front axle with 2LT/3L
80's Hilux doesn't even have a check 'engine light'.
Hilux is that reliable

වයර් කපපු චෙක් එන්ජින් ලයිට් එකේ කනෙක්ශන් දෙක හොයල රිලේ එකක් හරහා දෙනව හෝන් එකට...
ඔය සොලිඩ් ෆ්රන්ට් ඇක්සල් කියන්නෙ මොකක්ද...?? එහෙම නැති මොඩ්ල් එකට එන ෆ්රන්ට් ඇක්සල් එකෙයි, ඔය කියන එකෙයි වාසි අවාසි මොනවද?? ඕක හොයාගන්නෙ කොහොමද??
There are lots of accessories provided by car dealers (authorised agents). It's nothing to do with the manufacturer. But all the accessories provided by a dealer considered as factory fitted, hence the warranty falls under manufacturer's warranty.
To make matters more complicated, Even the manufacturer (in my case Isuzu) is not the one who provide manufacturer's warranty, it's sold as "Holden" in Australia so, it's GMH Australia who provide the warranty, not Isuzu.
Some 25-30 years ago, Air conditioned cars attract a luxury car tax (or similar tax). So, most small cars being imported in to oz without AC. It's being fitted locally, but the warranty falls under manufacturer's warranty.
Have a thing at the back of my mind to restore a Short Wheel Base one day... Since the Pajero name plate is now gone, these will be future classics for sure... Parts are the issue as with any old model though, not easy to find genuine little bits and pieces to restore back to factory spec...
Finding the best one with no rust is the key here. Mechanicals are easy, but any rust work and paint work can easily cost double the total value of the car.
Most long wheel base old Pajero`s (series 1) are destroyed by stupid backpackers and campers. Shorty's have a better chance of survival in close to original condition because you cant sleep or haul stuff at the back
Main thing with any old car is to find the best example (near original, not abused).
This one is one of my friends` for example (in SL), no where near original and used to have fun a few times per year.
The fun may include flooding the whole thing inside and out in mud/water...
Nice stuff. I'm more interested at the 4 door fully loaded original wagon (super exceed?) which maybe near non-existent in SL.This one is one of my friends` for example (in SL), no where near original and used to have fun a few times per year.
NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe is warning NSW consumers not to waste their money buying computerised electronic corrosion inhibitors (CECI devices) for motor vehicles after investigations by Western Australia Consumer Protection revealed the devices don’t work.
WA Consumer Protection has entered into an Enforceable Undertaking under the Australian Consumer Law, on behalf of all ACL regulators, with distributors High Performance Corporation Pty Ltd (HPC) and MotorOne Group Pty Ltd (MotorOne) to stop the sale of and secure refunds for consumers who bought devices that were falsely claimed to reduce rust and corrosion by as much as 80 percent in motor vehicles.
These businesses sell a range of goods and services to the national automotive market largely through vehicle dealerships, auto parts stores and window tinting outlets.
The device was often sold as part of a package of after sales care products on new vehicles and connects to the vehicle’s battery. The devices are generally simply connected to the vehicle battery and an earth point.
WA Consumer Protection sought independent expert opinion and testing that concluded CECI Units did not prevent rust or corrosion. The makers of other, similar products are also being investigated by WA Consumer Protection. Prices of these similar devices have ranged up to $4,000.

මොඩෙල් කීපයක් විතරක් තාම front solid axle එනව cruiser 70 series / jeep rubicon
Didn't know this. This warning is recent (2015) compare to the time I got this fixed (2001).
I was wondering why dealers are not pestering to buy this product anymore. I first come across this product around 1998/9 from a Toyota dealership when I bought a car for my wife. That unit cost around $800, if I can remember correctly. Since she not kept that car for long, rust was not an issue.
Despite the fact I was a poor maintainer, but not had any issue with rust in my car, I used to give credit to that unit
