Sorry its the engine i dont know , i sold herin doors shogun this time last year 3.2 DI D.
We had it about 8 years and TBH , it was superb . Incredibly strong, but be warned the parts prices are sky high.
However theres a good forum with loads of links for secondhand / aftermarket parts .

One last thing , they use a load of fuel you are driving a big strong heavy vehicle .

Thanks for that, I had a freelander car derived van which has gone to the great spares garage in the sky, that was an expensive item to repair, this however has a good service history, there's also an outlander 2.2 available, might have to continue looking for a Ranger, spares aren't as bad I don't think.

I had a Shogun sport a few yrs back, great 4x4 would go anywhere, low geared so anything above 65/70mph and it would slurp the diesel
This was the 2.5 TD, don't know about the regular Shoguns if gearing is the same or not
