With Great sadness that I bought a 2nd hand Pajero. Firstly main seal R570 from Pajero bearing shop R50-00. Secondly the vacuum solenoids that control the throttle body(IE you Go button) are DISCONTINUED. No circuit diagram available. after searching the interweb I stumble on a no that refers me to a no that refers to a no. (You get the pic) Customer service calls me to tell me agents only and the vehicle must be towed to them. What BullS*&^. They will not sell me the part or tell me how it works. I would think this is a little Bias. If it was not for the attitude I would tow the vehicle and support them. I DO NOT THINK SO. Go ***** your self Mitsubishi your product is not that great and after this experience I am your worst critic. You Don't care for your product. Take a long walk of a short peer. Another thing 8 Tappet cover bolts R 568+- GFY

This is exactly my point. SKF manufactures seals and bearings for car manufacturers, and have done so for years. Go and hide behind the exchange rate as much as you want. I buy parts from overseas all the time, paying ten times the intrinsic value is A *******. Did I mention that there is a 6 week waiting period for parts. I'll Uber in the mean time.
The car cannot drive because a part, about R150-00's worth can't control the throttle body, because "The Vacuum solenoid is discontinued" Without offering an alternative solution. But you are quite happy that I now buy a part from a s**** yard to get my vehicle to drive (that may be faulty) . Your Customer non care specialist emphatically stated they will not sell me the solenoid control valve. There is no reason that you can justify not selling your OEM part to a repairer.

The fact of the matter is your network did not tell me to bring the car in I had to search 4 days for a solution wasting precious time. Remember these solenoid controls the throttle body (your GAS Pedal).
Here is a revelation: these Diagrams are all over the internet except for the Vacuum circuit, its a state secrete. It is not even properly described in the workshop manual.

You are not interested in keeping your product on the road, it is clear from your meagre response. What a pity. Ohh did I get it wrong, must I buy a new car ?, or is it that you want to sell a vehicle that did not cheat in the emissions tests for which you now have to pay a fine.
Either way I am pitiful that I chose to buy a Pajero, It was a mistake to deal with the likes of Mitsubishi due to there lack of empathy for people that drive and support their products. If only I knew this 4 weeks ago. This by the way is my 3rd Mitsubishi and my last. And I know loosing me as a client is no big deal.
As you can tell I am MAD as HELL. If you were open and honest I may not have been. Maybe a Lexus v8 transplant will fit the bill. Note to Self Next time buy the TOYOTA it may be older but its more reliable and parts are available and it will keep its value.
