Hi, I just finished working on 30% of the pics taken and has been uploaded to the gallery. Trip video is still pending because really been busy with work. But once it will be finished will update. I will share some of the individual best shots after finishing retouch by message. By far this is the best click.... @Asif Hussain

How do you shout Yallllaaahhh in Chinese when going up the mountain ?

I’ll start with the very unique Badain Jaran desert : Badain Jaran mysterious lakes

We should go and rent a Chinese 4x4 and explore the area. Like a Carnity school trip

Hi guys. Just wanted to update this thread - I've seen 3 more mechanics (thanks @Carnity, the 'Get Quotes in Minutes' feature works) and all 3 have basically confirmed that the tappets are to blame. Although 1 of them said that this is normal and I should just put thicker oil (no, not Saleem). Anyway, I'm saving up for parts as each tappet/lifter is Dhs 30 from Divya and Dhs 54 from Habtoor. Replacing all 24 will add up so I guess its a no brainer where I should get them. I've been quoted no less than Dhs 500 for labour in several garages (a whole day's work) so I guess it will take time before I update this thread again with an 'after' results. But once done, I will surely post the results here.

Looks like they also use Japanese 4x4 more Ready to go tourist spot: https://goo.gl/maps/p9vonkQAvdk

The risk : to end up in the water after a mistake while side-sloping

As a car enthusiast, I'm sure you must be having tons of experience with mechanics and workshops in UAE. List your worst mechanic experience here with as much as details, I'll start with mine: Back in those when I got my new license and my first car, I was very happy with the first mechanic who has served me honestly and fairly all the times. After I sold my Sunny, I got an Accord, he has been maintaining that as well. Every time I take the car for other jobs, I use to ask him to check everything from engine - gear - bushes etc and every time he used to say yes all done. As few of Honda guys know that Accord is notorious for gearbox failure, so on first jerk or late shifting, I reported to him and ask him to change the gear oil and filter. And after that still gearbox died and I went to gear specialist who showed me stale oil and said it was never changed. That gear rebuilding because of cheating cost me 10 times the price of gear oil change and forced me to not to trust mechanics again. Get a critical job in front of your eyes - no matter how much you trust your mechanic or long relation you had. Then again things change and I met real professionals and start trusting mechanics again but with a "pinch of salt".

Also, you can call these 6 used spare part guys from your office and see if it helps. From 3 engine swap experience, unless you run around you won't get lucky, mechanics and workshop always have a few hundred customers other than you so they can't spend enough time for one job. https://carnity.com/search?&q=mitsubishi&type=cms_records5&nodes=86&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy There is a way to this and I think I posted here too. I'll dig and get you

As soon as I saw the title of the thread Badain Jaran came to mind, but then opened the thread to see its all about Badain Jaran. I've been fascinated by this desert for over a decade now. I think the boys are doing an episode there in the current season of The Grand Tour. Should be good telly.

Brilliant idea

Beautiful dunes, worth exploring and having a free provision of a dip after a long drive in the freshwater lake

Nice video @hossein after a while I'm seeing my car in the video

I made a very similar system myself a while back, It worked fine but i ran across some issues when clipping on the hose to the tyre. Due to some wear and tear on the valve the air came out faster on one tyre in comparison with the other. As a result of that i would have the front tyre at 18psi while the back tyre was at 14psi. From what i see the INdeflate clip-on system looks a bit better so you might not have that problem.
