2006 Mitsubishi Shogun reviews

Mitsubishi Shogun Elegance 2006

Boy, reading these reports have I been lucky? My ex Mitsu management car bought for ten under list with 14000miles now has 169000 on the clock and is still sweet, until just before Xmas. Only problems ’til then are the gearbox sensors (they all do that sir...), failed tailgate door lock (must be due to getting the dogs in and out all the time), slight bit of rust below RHS tailgate window, which I also had on a previous Shogun - must be a weak point. Also had some issues with the roof not closing properly, but resolved under warranty, but it may have been something to do with letting it close onto the cable for a yellow rotating beacon...doh! However, the engine’s been rattling; originally thought to be hydraulic tappets, it turns out to be a timing chain. I’ve probably done 2000-3000miles since it started rattling, hauling laden car trailers, so I think I must be lucky it didn’t break!!! But it’s apparently a 20 hour engine out job estimated at £2500-3000...gulp! However, two years ago my price to change to a comparable new shape was £10000 so in my book I’m still quids in if that is ALL that has gone wrong in that time and mileage, I’m happy!!!! With regards to the Satnav; when I first bought it it hardly worked at all, but they did something with the aerial in the rear side window and it works 90% of the time, not a great problem ’cos I trust my TomTom!! Also had some condensation in a rear light (replaced under warranty) and a dipstick recall; new design has two seals. Would I buy another one? Absolutely!!
