I like the stripped look after she dropped her skirt (bumpers)of in Al Faqa..😅 Seriously, the comfort, power and sleek looks.

Of course headlights have oil. How else do you think they work- with electricity?

Good info .... fat people like me will automatically fit it inside seat (no way to keep any space on the back)😜

Don't forget to change the oil for the headlights, in the summer these oils can get really hot and sticky.

Ok you won me over buddy

The penalty for no show is 20 Aloo Paratha's / Belgian Chocolates / Fresh Coconut / Mexican Mezcal Just kidding. You can sign up anytime you like and show up for a drive, we aren't desert safari company. In the calendar, you can even decline or join as you please, even on Friday morning. Although it's a family drive ending with BBQ, everyone is welcome to come alone or with family - as they like. For first absolute newbie drive, you are better off alone tbh as per my experience so that you can focus on learning with undivided attention but it's completely your choice in the end.

For my on-road Range Rover - Comfort is the best thing I love. For my offroad 99' Pajero - Best "stock" hill climber, I found after 5 failed attempts.

I love that my car allows me to meet such wonderful people on the web and on our desert drives.

@RohanH if your fluids are ok. Check the buttom of the steering column, there is a caoutchouc piece that rubs against the column and it is the reason behind the noise. You can put some WD40 over there. In my case it did the job perfectly.

@RahimdadHead light oil ? Don’t understand does the car head lights have oil !

Hi @rohan I have 2009 pajero and exactly as u said I have same issue and as mentioned by @Srikumarits purely because of rear differential busses and control arm bushes worn out and it’s common for Pajero’s as I have noticed few of my friends cars and the solution is to change complete rear axle and differential bushes to have a calm an smooth ride I got quote from one of the garage for approx 2000 dhms and I dropped the plan to change 😜

Apart from whole car, what is the one thing you love the most in your car and whyt? I love my car performance and zippiestness whenever i hit the gas to max

You did with 2 Ton Xterra on the crest in last drive I drove your car with AC while getting Engine oil for RAV4, long ago. Also sat in Sertac XJ Perfectly cooling AC and XJ doesn't come in one sentence.

ok guys, update, be careful when pulling out the window and trying it. You can actually pull the motor and break it. I found out the hard way. Good thing is that I have no rattles whatsoever now !!

Not attempted, so no comments You need to sit in my car to see how good the AC works. There was a time when it would cross 140. It can still manage with a lot of parts shaking. But I feel it's too much of a torture to put the old lady through

For a second I thought you were referring to my Jeep XJ 😋

Nice info but this does not correspond to the normal style here. Leaned back and to the side with one hand on the wheel and the other balancing a karak tea trying not to spill.

Congrats on your new ride, you made a good choice over a Pajero (from another topic) from comfort, luxury, power, and resale aspect by spending extra cash. Tire pressure generally should be between 30-35 PSI, 2-3 PSI more than the door sill is acceptable, as far you keep all 4 tires on the same pressure. I inflate all my cars at 35 PSI and check once a month, that gives the room to drop them to 30 PSI in a month's time. For accessories, you can find plenty in naif or in Sharjah tire market next to Sahara center, before the BMW road.

Penalty is too much. 😭😭😭

The old Pajero is a bit quirky and is not the best at anything, but then again it's cheap, reliable, and puts a smile on my face while driving it. I've driven many modern, premium cars, but i got annoyed at the smallest creaky noises from the dashboard or seats, while this one rattles on like a horse and carriage, but it never bothers me. The fact that i can do small upgrades and repairs by myself (old technology) also helps.

We always do the optional BBQ next to the track which is closer to the road, so that anyone can leave immediately after the drive or little later as per their convenience.

Feel of the car(driving a beast) including simple and easy to use setup.

I had the same issue and used WD40 as well. It's sand that is causing the noise.

Thank you @edouard for your reply. I will check both the things.

You can replace only the bushes, but if you do, make sure you get them from a Mitsubishi dealership. It has been my experience that most aftermarket bushes wear out within a couple of months, leaving you with same problem again.

I believe you should change the timing belt not for the km for the year. It has 5 year life time.

Guys. Im looking for die cast model of Land Cruiser Prado. Any leads where can i find one. Appreciate your support.

Hyundai Accent The 2019 Hyundai Accent is a fuel-efficient and fun compact economy car. The exterior is a symphony of tight, straight lines and flowing curves, making it look more expensive than it really is. Headlamps are projectors with a thin row of Daytime Running LED's making it pretty classy. The rear LED taillights look modern and attractive too. The sloping roof and the rising shoulder line add bulk to the rear doors, but that can be corrected by opting for bigger, lower-profile (205/45 R17) wheels and tires. On the inside the seats are comfortable but not supportive. They aren't power-adjustable either, which is not so good because everyone else does have power seats. However if you're the only one who will drive this car, then how often do you want to adjust your seating positions anyway? Finding a good driving position isn't hard at all – everything is manually adjustable. The gear lever both manual and automatic are placed perfectly to reach without an effort. Two dials and a 3.5” monochrome screen form the instrument cluster. A bigger 5” touchscreen controls audio and helps you reverse. At the bottom lie two 12-Volt outlets, a USB port and an auxiliary jack. Storage cubbies are right where you would expect, and very useful too. Despite a high loading lip and narrow opening, the trunk is very usable and very large – with a 387-liter capacity which can be expanded by folding the 60-40 split rear seats. Speaking of rear seats, three can sit here comfortably for shorter journeys. Legroom is merely adequate and head room is at a premium, but thigh and lumbar support is good. It feels nice and airy inside the cabin with the large windows, light-colored materials and a sunroof. You can have the 2019 Hyundai Accent with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine or with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine. The former produces 99 hp and 13.5 kgm (136 Nm) of torque, while the latter makes 121 hp and 15.4 kgm (156 Nm) of torque. However the 1.6 liter engine is smoother and responsive. By no means does it make this a fast car (0-100 kmph in 10.3 seconds, compared with 11.3 for the base model) but it makes city driving a breeze definitely. Fuel economy is 6.28 L/100 (15.9 kmpl) for the base 1.4 liter model and 6.41 L/100 (15.6kmpl) for the 1.6 liter engine. Transmissions are available in 6-speed manual, and a 6-speed automatic whichever best suits your driving style. Driven sensibly, the 2019 Hyundai Accent is quiet and composed and looks like a fresh business suit. It drives well, too. The chassis (monocoque frame) is rigid and the car feels composed and predictable in the corners. The steering feedback is not much but it doesn't lack in accuracy. The suspension swallows small bumps gives the car a flat ride over bad surfaces but produces a lot of squat and dive. Even as the Hyundai Accent never had sporting aspirations, this new 2019 model is a good car to drive. Hyundai has worked hard to improve the weight and damping of the clutch, gear lever, brakes, and steering, and the results are tremendous. There is a tightness to this Hyundai that puts it right up there with the Japanese car models. UAE prices for the 2019 Hyundai Accent start at AED 50,500. To get the bigger engine you'd have to spend AED 52,500. The top-of-the-line trim level demands AED 59,500. At these rates the Accent is cheaper than similar Japanese vehicles. This makes Hyundai Accent a very good value for money car. We recommend the 1.6-liter Accent which is better, safer, and has a known record of reliability.

For Prado accessories, you can find plenty in naif or in Sharjah tire market next to Sahara center, before the BMW road

Desertcart brings their stuff from Amazon but you'll pay a bit more. I order stuff there every now and then and never had issues.

Ok clear ! Thanks. I’ll see how i organized myself to join the drive !

Dear Friends, This is my first post here; I was glad to see such a platform wherein we can discuss automobiles and seek recommendations. I bought one Pajero 2012 GOLD color last October, with zero accidents on it till now Alhamdolillah; I seek recommendations on following: 1. Car Dashboard and Backside (may be rear door) makes noise on slight rough service roads and YELLOW road straps (which are more thicker now in Dubai). Otherwise, there is near-to-nil noise on plain roads. 2. Car has done 98K ODO. Should I change the timing belt now, or take it upto 120K (as I read some other friends posting here) in next 2 years as I don't drive it too much? If this is to be replaced, what other major items to be changed and how much will it cost me overall? Any good place in Sharjah or Dubai wherein I can get it fixed. I was told by a garage in Shj (who worked on my past car Corolla, Accord etc repairs for last 5 years) that Timing Belt and other good-to-be-replaced-with-TimingBelt stuff will cost around 3K. 3. There is a steering wheel grinding noise whenever I turn it any side. Otherwise, it moves smooth. How to get it fixed and in what cost?

Hello, @MisterPoet did you found solution on steering grinding noise. I am also having this issue. Please advise.

Driving off road alone is the worst thing to do. Never do that even if you have all the experience in the world. With kids it is an even bigger no.

Agree with you all on dealers tampering with odometer. But i feel the dealer i purchased from is one of the reputed one. i can say they are number 1 in used car market. Though the price they quote is comparatively on a higher side but it comes with 1 year / 20,000 kms warranty. Also they have showed me the work done prior to delivery/after they purchased the vehicle. i dont trust anyone blindly but i felt assured by them. Lets hope for the best. 🤞

What I learnt till now is this dash rattling is common in Pajero on rough terrains and humps/jumps. This is because there is no metal/iron bracket support in 4th gen Pajero. I have seen on another forum, Some people in Cape Town made a iron bracket and install it via opening front end of dashboard and it reduces this rattling in rough roads. Not sure if someone does so in UAE too.

Thank you @sertac , @Gauravand @skumar83 for your input. I have heard and read in some other forum on this site that cost of changing timing belt and other stuff shouldn't exceed 1.5k-2K. Is that so? Also, there is a forum of Pajero owners in CapeTown who have some experts to reduce dashboard noise by the installation of metal support brackets through dismounting the audio system and some other parts of dashboard. As per the members of the forum there, it reduces the dashboard noise largely.

Welcome to the Carnity, MisterPoet (nice ID). For dashboard noise I'm not sure maybe @skumar83 can advise if this is a usual suspect of Pajero or not, but for rear door always make some noise in the rough area due to huge tall single piece door and you can barely reduce noise by changing the door beading and again it will come in few months. It's more of a design flaw of the door, and that's why many other big size 4x4 comes with 1 and a half or 2 doors to prevent such squeaking and clattering noise. For timing belt, I think it's 100k kms and not 120k, please refer to your car model owners manual and stick to it completely. @Barry can advise further what all things are recommended to change while doing the timing belt job, so you don't open that area again. I think belt pulley and the water pump is down there.....right barry. Get multiple quotes from the workshop and compare and it should be in 3-4K (Sharjah and Ajman) to 5-6k (Dubai) with original Mitsubishi spare parts + labor. DO NOT BUY NON-GENUINE PARTS for this job, as belt cost is far lesser than the damage it can cause if it breaks. Check your power steering fluid and top it up to see if this minor steering noise goes away, if not some mechanical diagnose is needed.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... Try this website, www.vindecoderz.com It should tell you country and full original spec. I emphasize SHOULD. It doesn't always, but it's worth typing your chassis number in. It's free and only takes a few seconds.
