Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

I have been off the forum for quite some time and I am sure I missed some stuff. I see that the Sport is fortunately also accepted as a Pajero here.

I have two questions: 1) can someone give me an indication the fuel consumption of the 4x4, man & auto and 2) is there a dealer in Clanwilliam?

The fuel consumption depends on who you ask... Official factory values are 7,8 and 8,5 l/100km. Reality is my auto (with 2000km) is closer to 11,5 l/100km depending on the route. (as low as 7,8l/100km on highway).

The day after I took delivery of my Sport we headed for the Cedeberg (50km on the clock) and the trip there and back (800km) plus driving in the "berg gave 10,5 l/100km. As it loosens up it will get lighter.

My old 3200 Sport gave anything from 12,5 l/100km (home to office = 3km!) to 9,1 l/1ookm highway.

Your closest dealer is in Paarden Eiland, which, in my opinion, is the best service I have received from any dealer of any manufacturer.

During my typical rush hour commutes (7km's each way - hundreds of speedbumps and robots), I get about 6.5 km/litre . But I can almost half this consumption (with about 11.5 km/litre) when open road driving, so it is not bad at all. The claimed fuel consumption sticker always brings a smile (or laugh)to my face whenever I glimpse across it.....Reality is - it's a 2 ton 2.5 turbo diesel with an auto transmission and heavy 4x4 running gear - can't expect it to be what's its not
