Any 'Devil Pitters' lost a mitsubishi 4x4?

you could contact the police/council incase it has been stolen and dumped?, or do you think it just broke down and got abandoned?

Our local council have a dedicated number to call for suspected abandoned vehicles. Out here, we get quite a number of dumped MoT failures, and a few torched in farmers' fields. I reported one last month and it was gone within 48 hours. One of the few things our LA seem to do properly.

Perhaps you could give it a new home. I'd be tempted. Think of the money you'd save the local council in removal fees... You'd be doing a public service.

Provided the owner doesn't report it as stolen to the police! Then you'd be in the s*it..

speak to the local gendarmes saying where and the reg etc. See what they say.

I once read that you can legally take ownership of a vehicle that you believe ( and that you can prove) has been abandoned.

I seen to remember it was under Section 7 of the Road Traffic Act.

Is this still the case?

If so i guess its not so easy as it sounds!

For info, I've copied your post the Pajero Owner's Club forum (pocuk.com) in case it's a member's car that's been stolen.

Oh, I dunno. If it were a Landrover all you neeed is a suitable window opener (brick) and a screwdriver. Mitsubishi's on t'other hand often have quite sophisticated immobilisers on 'em.

Grossly unfair.

P38 Range Rovers have numerous sophisticated immobilisers.

LOL - I had to scroll to get the third item on the list, so the effect was magnified.
