Your injector pump seal is worn, remove the fuel filter and you will find the diesel has discoloured or turning black. most competant garages will do the job but make sure they have the correct seal for it as its a special seal, check ebay injector pump seals, the job should cost you no more than £200

the most common cause on the pajero is the radiator that becomes slowly blocked or restricks flow, failing that head gaskets and cracked heads are also a problem, see how much pressure you are getting in the top hose if it feels really solid its more than likely the head at fault, if not i would try first with a radiator.
