Milner have them up for £266, its then the pain of fitting it. When looking at mine I have noticed that the fittings on the pipes going to the DPF have just about disappeared, wondering if mitsi can supply them |

Hi woodie how did you get on replacing your DPF ?? Mines has just fallen apart with gungum holding it together at the moment,
I’ve got it booked in to local Mitsubishi dealer for replacement with aftermarket part next week at £650 including fitting and vat,
Didn’t want to spend that much money on it but felt I had little choice, didn’t want to tackle it myself.
Thanks in advance |

when fitting new dpf the heat sensor needs to be removed and it is siezed in most cases and will snap off when excess force is used new only available from mitsi |

Thanks for that ALFONZO the reply is much appreciated, don’t seem to get many these days,
I’ve seen them on eBay for that kind of money and was tempted but was worried about all the pipes that are attached and that
sensor worried me, I had visions of it snapping off and then the added expense and time of trying to source one from somewhere,
So I thought I’d take the hit from Mitsubishi and let them worry about it, I’ve got a fitted price regardless of what happens to it.
Thanks again. |

Well that’s it done, new DPF fitted £743 up from £650 due to both external pipes also having to be replaced due to corrosion,
thankfully the heat sensor probe came out ok, didn’t want to spend that much but felt I had little choice, didn’t want to tackle it myself,
Never mind it should last a few years and it definitely sounds much better, think it might be moving a bit better as well,
Wonder what’s next to go, old cars eh, I’ve been getting it tight from friends and family about moving it on but I canny part with it,
As I get older I become more attached to things and me old shogun is something I love and trust, it would be like putting the dog down just because it’s old,
Anyway thanks again for your replies and here’s to more happy years driving my shogun,
It could always be worse, I could own a Land Rover. |

You cant win really,buy brand new and although warranty covers most things for 3 years depreciation becomes the big hit if you sell and decide to buy brand new again.buy one three years or older then you have to start forking out for repairs,after about 10 to 12 years old can be the sweet spot .you can buy a good used one at the fraction of the cost of new and still have same level of comfort and hopefully a lot of the things that can go wrong have been done by previous owners,and if something major goes wrong you haven't lost that much money i know what you mean about getting under your skin,i still have my 2.8 parked up,but dont seem to have the will power to get rid of the old girl,owned it for 12 years and it never left me stranded once and that was me covering 170,000 miles and it had 80 thousand on it when i brought it so 250,000 total.just hope this one is half as reliable. |
