Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• Why does my 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport cut out when idling at lights?

  This type of problem can have any number of causes. The best option is to have the car scanned electronically to see what fault codes have been logged by the on-board computer.

  You could be looking at a fuel issue, something purely mechanical (like the idle-speed set too low) a blocked air-filter, a computer issue or any number of sensors that are not playing ball. But until you interpret the fault codes, you’ll be flying blind and potentially replacing things that aren’t the cause of the stalling problem.

  I’d certainly be taking the vehicle back to the workshop that serviced it and pointing out that the problem only occurred after they'd 'fixed' it.

• Is something wrong with the acceleration in my 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport?

  By and large, a car should perform the same day in, day out without any huge (or even noticeable) changes in its performance. So I’d say, yes, something is wrong with your car. As for the cause, well, it could be anything from poor fuel to a faulty battery to a park-brake that is sticking on. It’s impossible to diagnose problems like this one remotely, so have it checked out at a workshop. Continuing to drive it with a fault is asking for more damage to be done.

• Replacement options for a 2005 Pathfinder?

  You haven't given us the weight of the caravan you want to tow, which goes a long way to determining the best car for you. We'll err on the side of caution and go for cars with a towing capacity of at least 2500 kg that fall within your budget. It's always best to go for the latest model you can afford, which means around 2103 in your case. I'm guessing you're over the Pathfinder given your experience with the holed piston in your current car, but the Nissan is an option for you. So too are the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Mitsubishi Pajero, although the Pajero's rear suspension is prone to sagging when heavily loaded and I would rule that out on that basis. If you can stretch your budget a little you could consider the Landrover Discovery 4, which does everything you want well, but is the most expensive of this bunch. For me the pick of the bunch for me is the Toyota Prado, for performance, economy, and reliability. The only issue for you could be that the Prado's towing rating is 2500 kg, the lowest of the cars we mention here.

• Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2016: Can Windows Phones be used?

  A Mitsubishi spokesman told us "the Pajero Sport has an audio system called Smartphone Link Display Audio (SDA) for both Android Auto (TM*1) and Apple CarPlay (TM*2). SDA allows users of either Android smartphones or iPhones to connect to the seven-inch built-in touch screen using a USB cable." From that the answer to your question would seem to be 'no'.
