Common Problems
Mitsubishi Pajero Engine Problems - What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense
The Mitsubishi Pajero's diesel engines are robust but not immune to age-related failures. The 4M40 timing chain, 4M41 injectors, and 4D56 head gaskets dominate UK replacement enquiries. Every rebuilt engine supplied through EngineMarket includes upgraded internal components designed to address the original failure point - plus a minimum 12-month unlimited...

Typical failure window
Root cause
Hydraulic tensioner wear allows chain slack, causing rattling at 2,500rpm and eventual jump/skip.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Preventative Chain Kit | £1,800 - £2,400 | £1,200 - £1,600 | Replace chain, guides, tensioner before catastrophic jump | Viable only if caught early; does not fix pre-existing damage |
| Intermediate - Head Inspection | £2,200 - £3,000 | £1,500 - £2,100 | Strip top end, check for valve/piston contact after chain jump | Only if damage is superficial; risk of hidden cracks remains |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt Engine | £4,500 - £6,000 | £2,600 - £3,000 | Supply & fit rebuilt 4M40 with upgraded tensioner, bench-tested, 12-month warranty | Best value when chain has jumped; eliminates repeat failure risk |
Our recommendation
If you hear the characteristic "chuff chuff" at 2,500rpm, act immediately. On a Pajero worth under £4,000, a preventative chain kit from a specialist offers the best balance of cost and reliability. If the chain has already jumped, replacement with a rebuilt unit is almost always more economical than extensive repairs.
