Check the small vacuum hoses on the front diff actuator. They tend to wear out. Make sure the piston that locks/unlocks the front wheels is not full of sand and debris. You'll find lots of information on google about this common Pajero issue. it's either 1) The solenoids which are located in the engine compartment 2) The vacuum hoses between solenoid and the diaphragm 3) Stuck actuator (piston) that engages or disengages 4WD 4) Vacuum operated diaphragm 5) Sensor on the transfer case. For some more information (there might be slight differences between the Pajero generations) http://4wd.blogeasy.com/article.view.run?articleID=318776

hello everyone. though i have been driving on road for a very long time. i have never done off road. i am purchasing a nissan patrol v8 in a few days and would be interested in experiencing and learning on desert and wadi drives. i would love to have inputs on driving and maintaining my vehicle off road. please also let me know how i can take classes for desert n off road driving. feeling excited . thanks in advance best regards

I have verified the physical conditions and it sounds good as there no such damages Will check the above possibilities and I feel this is like false alarm only after few mins drive the information u provide was great and I am very much thankful for spending time to update hats off to all thank u I did once and it was fine when I drive 4x4 and in fact I have done a recovery also with that to one sedan who got struck in loose sand . Will do it again few more time and will update

Short term : W16 engine, lift, King suspensions. Long term : windshield wipers. (More seriously I don’t have anything in mind, I tought about a lift but since Xterra isn’t the most stable car on-road I prefer to keep it as it is...)

Hi @razeen hasan welcome to Carnity, your one stop shop for all your car needs. Here you can discuss and question anything to do with cars while making new friends. I noticed that you have already joined our off road club, very warm welcome and thank you for introducing yourself. We do not run a class room setup but help you grow within a structured environment where you can learn and apply everything about off roading. We have a newbie trip this Friday, but since you are still waiting for your vehicle keep looking for a Newbie drive once you have you Patrol in hand. Wouldn't recommend bring it brand new to the desert. Complete your first 1000 kms as instructed and get the first service done. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Nitrous. Always nitrous.

BUHAHAHAHAHAH, this happens the same with me long ago and spotted this after lots and lots of $hit. My Pajero after an engine rebuild, doing first sidey and car went off. Came down started again, worked perfectly and then on next sidey car went off again. Exited desert with two cars escorting me to home, nothing happened. Went to the mechanic he literally pulled his hair as he can't spot the error. Next mechanic came in and spot the fault in 30 minutes, engine main ECU wiring has been passed next to the manifold and melts the wire to short that monster 100 AMP fuse on battery. Solution: ECU wire should be covered in heat resistant material and should not pass next to the exhaust manifold. If you want I can take my engine bay pictures and post to show the correct routing. You can refer to your old engine bay pic if you have it handy to find a sweet spot to secure those critical cables. See you on Friday

Welcome Razeen to Carnity and it's offroad club, looking forward to seeing you on newbie drive soon.

Mr Bean's Etisalat Dubai car ?

Hope they don't expire until next week

Of course, you have been helped enough with Fred and other comments, but just before you go whole nine yards I just like to ask you have you tried playing with lever a few times....? Put in several settings and drive for a few minutes, switch off the car and switch on again with few more attempts from 2H - 4H - 4HLC - 4LLC and back. In my car, if I loosely push out the 4W to 2W I see that blinking occasionally, so I put back in 4W and snap back at 2W with a little hard hand and that blinking goes away.

2016 Pajero and i have the same when driving over 100 and no unusual vibration in the rest of the car....

There are a few electronics repair shops in Dubai but they mainly focus on home hifi amps, not on car amps. You might be better off trying to find one from a scrap dealer in Sharjah. Beware that the amplifier could have been damaged by one of the speakers itself if there is a shortcut. So i'd recommend getting the wiring checked and the speakers measured up before you connect any new amp.

Thanks @Frederic. Very informative

I am an architect engineer in Expolink2020 Metro project. Previously i was in Al Maktoum stadium project.

Sorry @Javier M i missed your birthday ! Happy birthday +2 then

I am a legal advisor for the UAE Armed Forces... my job consists on telling them what not to do as per some international laws...

Welcome @ryanahmed

DVD player, GPS, camera comes in 2 din, just an audio player is single din Post your dash pic here

I have got the clayton player for my wife trailblazer, two years back and so far she is very happy with it. It has DVD, GPS, rear camera, bluetooth etc. I think it was for 500 something as I got whole job for 1000 including rear screen on roof, reverse camera with installation etc..

@Praveenmp are you referring to the blinking orange light of the central diff lock?

Very short term: getting it on the road again 😂 longer term: fully open exhaust with after market muffler. longest term: dropping a Lexus V8 in it 😂

Read Again Hahahah, is this corvette one.....?

Like to get the following mods for my XJ: Short Term : Like to get a decent sound system, upgrade the exhaust, improve the current LED bar light mounts, better fixture for the offroad flags Long Term : Replace the entire suspension system, get a decent spare tyre carriage at the rear of of the car

First long tube headers then exhaust (may be)

I work in a shop that mainly builds custom cars and choppers. Also restore classic cars and do some maintenance and repairs to everyday road cars. I mostly work in the office but sometimes I’m out in the shop advising the mechanics and electricians on diagnosis and repairs. Spent most of my life working on cars and it’s nice to go home with clean hands every day now. Perfect job for me, I get paid for doing my hobby.

Still have my first car (2015 Pajero). 4 years on and still going strong!

I work with big mnc company as an admin asst and whole day running like a chiken to meet two ends, but i love as ppl are nice and feel happy when my job make them feel happy

Ok thanks for all support. Definitely, Its not easier for me to do myself, I called one and shocked to listen that it will cost around 1500 AED. Let me check in other areas !

well dealer still roll back import or stolen cars, all it cost is 50 bucks

Also worth checking the engine main power line that feeds the spark plug coil maybe short and that's why engine not cranking and blowing the fuse. You need a big load to short that battery fuse, it cant be music system or light chewing this much.

Just two days back

@Rahimdad got a bad habit also time of cold start I lit a cigarette finish my cigarette than drive the car. Give me and my car time to start the day.

I’ve seen this before but I can’t remember now. Is it a Volkswagen something?

Beautiful legacy with a strong design presence

Isn't RTA fining if the odometer is reversed as that's why they are recording it on every passing.....? However, I agree that used car dealers always have the best buy as they smell such a good thing and pick it up from the owner in a flash. I always, OK almost always buy low km cars and spend 2-3 months hunting as every low km I see and by the time I visit, it's already sold to a dealer (90% of the time).

I'm an advertising, marketing, events and PR specialist worked with several small - big - govt companies in the last 18 years in Dubai

I agree with Fred on this, buying one from scrap will be faster and cheaper than repairing here, due to expensive labor for such specialized work.

first, you have to check the sensors on the gearbox, maybe its blocked or rubber pipe is broken

This is a civic hood carbon fibre

I'm convinced with the recommendation. I will send my car to Dexol tomorrow. I hope they will not outrageously quote me. @Barry

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥧🥧🥧

That's a great question... 🤔 Short term: I haven't decided yet probably one of these (or all): A roof rack so I can later put one of those roof tents (or maybe just get a trailer) Fender Flares Still thinking about putting metal bumpers (they are heavy so I'm still thinking if it is worth it) Long term: Supercharger - (one day baby... one day...)
