Being slightly different floor pan to the aus delivered 4 door lancer you will probably find there is not enough structure in the back of the car to tow

Remember it was designed to go fast not tow boats! ;)

Sometimes its not a case of the insurance company not paying out but reducing the amount that they pay you out i.e. like just paying for the other persons car that was smashed/written off etc

They did offer that if Mitsubishi would re-rate the Pajero for larger tyres then I would be fine - it's got to be "factory approved."
