Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Here's a challenge:

We often hear about Pajero's that has covered exceptionally high mileage - often with the same engine.

Let's keep a list of the top 20 members' cars in terms of distance covered (on the chassis). If yours is higher than one recorded, reply to the message, and I will update the first post.

When something changed (eg. new engine or 10000 extra km covered), also let us know.
(1 mile = 1,609km).

Anton,
It will only make sense if YOU update the first post as new ones are entered. (the first post should thus reflect the latest data)

You had the vision, you have the job!

My Gen1 Pajero makes yours look brand-new!

Gerhard,

Makes sense - I'll do it.

Cheers,
Anton

At least you are now in 2nd place!
Why did you delete that?

OK, mine's up again. I have the feeling that I am going to be relegated soon!

I think I have # 1 spot 1995 Gen2 LWB Petrol

Odometer = 341814.
original engine = 280000. Popped cylinder head gasket through stupidity. Spares to rebuild engine was more than the cost of a Jap runner. Jap engine was opened and the hone marks was visible in the cylinders, replaced oil & water pump as well as timing belt and tensioners (seems as if it is almost time to do it again )
Drive train still original but cvs have been replaced and suspension rubbers, springs & shocks uprated to OME (280k)
