Since living in the UAE and meeting so many people from different nationalities i have been on a quest to find out which music, band, or songs from your home-country you'd love to introduce to people that live here that don't know much about your country. I always believed music is a bridge to connect people and i regularly talk to my colleagues at work to try to find out what they were listening too when they were young and how this affected them. For example i was recently introduced to Aamir Zaki and i love it So in short; which bands or songs from your home-country would you like to introduce to us ? For me being Belgian: * TechnoTronic: Pump Up The Jam. Became a worldwide hit in 1988 * Two Man Sound: Disco Samba. Impossible to believe this was made by a Belgian. @Javier M you might know this song... * Confetti's : The Sound of C. During the New Beat period of 1988 (remember the smiley's) these guys made it big. * Deus: Suds and Soda: Best Belgian Alternative Band. * Toots Thielemans: Bluesette: Legendary Harmonica player.3 points

The 2006 Pajero 3 door doesnt have the issue of sand cooping, so you can do without getting any skid plate done. Regarding the air compressor, you can get them in Dragon mart. It would cost you between AED 230 - 350 depending on whether its one or two pistons. Else, if you want a better quality you can go for the air compressor's from Ace Hardware. They would cost you approx AED 550 and above. For offroading, I suggest you to join the Carnity Offroad Club, where you would start by learning the basics of offroading in a safe environment. We have an all level drive coming up this Friday afternoon. If you feel upto it you are most welcome to join.3 points

Thanks @Frederic Drive wise. Im a safe driver, maintenance, i follow schedule as recommended. Tire Pressure as my prado manual it is 29 PSI front and 32 PSI rear. But i have increased to 32 PSI on all 5 (Including spare tire). Shall i increase it to 35 PSI? will it be safe? to increase from the recommended level? Also my spare tire is the one came with new car. it is 2015 manufactured unused/not even cover was removed. Is it safe to keep it as spare tire or better to change? My driving pattern is quite safe(I may call it over relaxed 😂 ). If speed is 80 kmph my cruising speed will be around 75 kmph.2 points

13l is quite normal for a 4.0 V6. My 3.8 Pajero is guzzling around 14l per 100 km. To save a bit on fuel you can: 1) Drive smart: By "reading" the traffic properly you can anticipate and react smoothly. I see so many people revving up like crazy, and then breaking again 100 meters further on the speed bump. 2) Use Cruise Control whenever possible. 3) Keep your tyres properly inflated. 35psi and have a weekly check at the petrol pump or with your gauge if you have one. 4) Do not skip on proper maintenance. Get injectors cleaned and/or replaced whenever advised by your workshop.2 points

Hello Again so after purchasing my 3 door 2006 Pajero, I found a garage which i am happy with to do some works (Timing belt change, disk pads, brake skimming, major service). The next step is to learn from everyone about dos and donts for owning a Pajero, general advice etc. For example I have a list of things to do already: 1. Buy a 12v compressor 2. Buy a decent FM/bluetooth trabsmitter 3. Drill into my top glove box which is locked! If anyone can suggest some accessories to buy, comment on the above items for recommendations, and just general tips and tricks for owning a 3 door Pajero. I also which to take the car off-road, even if it is just mildly, for a bit of fun and practice. Any advice regarding this would also be great. Regards Lewis Cocks2 points

If your spare Tyre is located below the vehicle it's a single tank. If it's on the rear door it's a double tank2 points

MotionX GPS Navigation App for iOS users One of the best GPS Navigation App thoroughly tested in UAE for off-road use Estimated read time: 5 minutes After an extensive test based among many GPS Navigation app for iOS and Android smartphones, we finally settled for MotionX being the best GPS navigation app. MotionX GPS offers very intelligent and intuitive way to adapt to the different conditions and offer simple yet powerful GPS navigation app that is totally impressive. We have been testing MotionX for over 3-4 months time now on 20+ different routes and terrains from sand, wadi, mountains and ocean and it simply never failed on anything. Unlike many other smartphone navigation app, MotionX doesn't heat up the phone or chew extensive battery. It also doesn't break the signal in middle of no coverage area and always continue to record/show the track as expected. The only Android app that comes closer to MotionX is Maverick, but it still has some teething issues and need some more time to mature. Fullpower released the MotionX-GPS for iPhone users in October 2008 and since then they have been successfully capturing the new technology and enhancing this navigation app capabilities. MotionX-GPS is a handheld GPS Multi-Sport app for runners, hikers, sailors, stand up paddle boarding (SUP), cyclists, geocachers, and other outdoor sport enthusiasts. It leverages the iPhone built-in GPS chip as well as other on-board sensors to provide location data. MotionX-GPS supports map data provided by OpenStreetMap, Google, Bing, Apple and others. One of our personal favorite feature in MotionX is it's capability to allow you to load Google satellite maps that can show the dunes formation, slip faces, sabkha's, wadi's, easy access points etc. (if you know how to read google maps). Of course this feature requires 3G / 4G connection when venturing in new area, but if you browse area before at home or on 4G then it can comfortably load cached map and allow you to record tracks, timing and waypoints easily. It's really an intelligent way to beat Garmin's Montana - Bird's eye view (paid subscription) in a comfort of your pocket size existing smartphone, no more devices to handle on dashboard while hitting the dunes. Some of the key and best features: MAPS See your position and tracks anywhere in the world on fast live MotionX open topographic and road maps. Course-up and direction-up maps. Best map selection from 14 different sources: Google, Bing, Apple Road, Satellite and Hybrid maps. RECORD TRACKS Record and save up to 300 tracks. See your track in real-time with Track up, North up, or Direction Up, then follow it later if you want to retrace your path. Record time, distance, speed and max speed. Live speed and altitude graphs. MARK WAYPOINTS Save up to 2500 personal waypoints for your favorite locations. Use the MotionX TapTap® tool for easy waypoint creation. Add a geotagged photo to capture the moment! ONBOARD MAPS Most accurate iPhone GPS App Downloading and storing maps for offline access is faster and easier than ever. MotionX maps can be cached for offline access and lightning fast rendering! MotionX Terrain and Road maps and NOAA marine charts can be downloaded for offline use for free. NAVIGATION Use the compass for orientation in True or Magnetic bearings. Visualize your progress and ETA while navigating. View coordinates in UTM, MGRS, OSGB (UK grid), Lat/Lon format. SHARING Post your tracks and waypoints to Facebook or Twitter, or email them to share. Share your location and see where your friends are in real-time using the Auto Live Updates feature.

Strings - My all time favourite song Najaney kyun from Spiderman the movie. Hope you enjoy the Pakistan flavour on offer.1 point

Periodically check your spare Tyre. Recently in one of my cars I had a flat and when I checked the spare Tyre (which had not been used for the last 10 years), I realised that was flat as well. 😋1 point

If your total exceeds 60$ then the order usually comes within a week or 10 days. If normal delivery it doesn't take more than 2 weeks. But you need to give a PO Box number. They dont deliver to home. So you can give your office po box. I have ordered many items. Many times if the order was damaged i got the refund as well. They are very particular about the positive reviews of customers.1 point

32psi should be fine. Don’t worry about your spare tyre. The rubber might degrade a bit over time but if covered properly it will last longer.1 point

And if you have the patience drive at 90-100 km per hour. You will get really good mileage. On my Pajero 3.8 LWB, I get a mileage of 10.5 - 11 litre per 100 km when I drive in a relaxed manner1 point

Hi What kind of GPS or app are you guys using for creating or following tracks? Or is everything done on the fly? I understand that you have to follow the terrain but you have a general direction (Yes i am directionally challenged )1 point

Not taking care of your trash is always bad where ever you are. But on a positive note UAE is taking after Sweden and starting a trash plant to generate electricity. This means trash will become money and we all now money rules so changes will come. https://gulfnews.com/uae/environment/dubai-announces-launch-of-dh25b-waste-to-energy-plant-1.2164681 Sweden is today the only country in the world who import garbage and gets payed for it.1 point

I love that it looks like a crappy 5 door old Peugeot. But when it comes to the traffic lights, I will push 400 ft/lb and roll so much coal in your face you can’t see where you’re going1 point

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.1 point
