Yep, I have all of my gear. I am good to go.

If you can just tell me where can I find the blinker fluid I will be all set. 🤣

@Frederic at least you got your night drive music ready.

I love this song - one of my favorites

It is very entertaining and I loved the last part but it is actually a really bad movie and it has many mistakes. I want to watch it again to see all the mistakes I didn't see the first time.

LOL... i wanted to ask you what is blinker fluid, but i thought let me google it first 🤣🤣🤣

Hi You can check the below thread where this issue was discussed.

I agree with desertdude and Barry. In 4th Gen Pajero the A/T light comes with the words 'A/T' Are you sure that you have not replaced the gear box when maybe it was not required?

Sounds like your compressor is low on gas. Top it up and then check if there is a leak.

I will always prefer the complete suspension kit change which is expensive but only needed when you are an regular off roader as the reach for offroad suspension is good compared to the stock. Spacers doesn't feels good for me as we are adding another extra piece to your suspension( Coils ), But not the shocks,thus extending the suspension reach,compression. Best option is to save up and buy suspension. @WiLfY you can explain it the best way as you have upgraded your suspensions to dobinson. Automechanica is on June. You will definitely have some offers on offroad items.😉

yes man, anyone wants to join us? Avengers: Endgame? 9am lol

Good one Including the rope @Javier M ? I Can’t remember if you have one

Gents, please don’t forget this 👆

I agree, but still, I'm super scared of gear oil misbehaviour. I guessed it same with orange and blinking, but just like to make sure that OP understand the difference

I just meant night drives.

I need more info about this. What is it?

You can pick more than 1 option or suggest a new one, so we can find out how to serve you better.

Hi there, I just noticed an orange transmission light flashing on the dashboard this morning, of a 2010 3.5 lwb Pajero. I tried the 4 wheel selection but the lights are not changing on the dashboard, no response from the car and also there's no light display from the 2wd selection either. It seems to be driving fine, the only sounds I notice is a liquid gushing sound, if I stop suddenly or change in to reverse Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this failure?

That IS is coolant overheat warning light, not A/T

I love modifying stuff, it’s my job. But one thing that I hate is stupidly stretched tyres and massive negative camber. I modify stuff to make it go faster or look better. If you do stuff like this for fake internet points, youre a twat

Yes, same here... Very good movie

This car is lifted (dobinson) i know the owner. Bumper trimming 😍 perfect angle

Stock Pajero has decent ground clearance. If you don't want to spend on suspension, you can up size your tyre when you replace them and trim your front bumper which will be more than enough for camping trips. I had attached the picture of modified bumper and i liked the job done on this pajero.

OMG, seriously......! Have you liked it so much or have you missed a little on the first go....? Beautiful movie but stretched it too long for 3 hrs, could have compressed within 2 hours easy.

I watched it already and planning to watch it again this Saturday

It will mention the word AT and would be red in color. You can see the light when you put your key on ignition before cranking

I think till about a 2 inch lift it probably doesn't cause the camber issues. We had a couple of guys in the offroad club who had done it and had not faced any issues

At the beginning, I didn't know exactly what the light was but after reading the thread, it looks like the same issue. It's parked up now for a few hours, so I'll check everything that people have recommended before I drive it again. Keep coming with the advice though, it's very much appreciated.

I think the A/T light is red in color. Since he mentioned orange color and blinking I presumed it was the difflock light

Cheers @Srikumar

I found one of the moments where @Srikumar got stuck.

Isn't that great, the stealers themselves don't know what transmissions their cars have.

Hi guys, can I use the 80w90 instead of 75w85? It is becoming easier to find this oil instead of 75w85 or even 75w90? So far the brands that I found are ZIC (80w90), KIXX (80w90) and ACDelco (75w90). Any one have experience any of them? Note: I previously used 85w90 as per the shop that deals with OEM parts. But I found it getting black in the rear two days back, when I changed the wheel bearings. So, I don't want to use that oil again. Please advice me. Thanks,

beautiful dunes, wonderful drive

On the other hand, it is a technology that seems to be bullet proof on motorbikes (scooters), quads and snow mobiles. So, assume size actually matter (even if some of us pretend it is not the case). :-)

Love to join in on this one, led by an expert @amir.rophail @G.huz let's go guys. @Gaurav @Rahimdad @Srikumar i am fine with either drive on Friday afternoon, but i'd like to go for Emmanuel his intermediate drive if that's ok to make sure there will be at least 3 cars. @Emmanuel i'll need to pickup my mother in law from the airport later that night, so i would like to refrain from sweating too much or having my car full of sand 🤣 (just kidding)

It is hard to know exactly without know the specific Pajero Model but this extract from the Pajero maintenance manual is useful I would suggest to do the following: Replace timing belt (if any) Replace spark plugs Replace spark plugs cables Replace transmission oil Engine oil: SAE 15W-40 will do the job (fits temp range from 0C to 50C) Transmission oil (assuming is automatic): Type: NL: Dexron 2 30-40 seconds is too much time - the average time it takes the oil pump to distribute the oil is 10-12 seconds but the oil is designed to stick to the surface for a long time and there are spaces in the engine that will prevent the oil from slipping off from important (moving) parts of the engine. Having the AC on or off would make no difference at all.

Like everyone else said, it’s the rear bushings. Differentials in any car rarely give bother unless it’s totally neglected. Then you would see the oil spots on the pavement outside your house.

I have done only the front arms bush jut to give a try after market just two months back need to see how long it survives maybe I have to prepare my purse soon for the bushes again

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

Nicely said desertdude

To me its just a distraction from whatever it is I am doing, 90% of times I'm on carnity from my mobile, when I'm out for a smoke or taking a _______ Sometimes there is something interested posted, usually by Barry and sometimes you and sometimes there is something I feel I can add to, so I do. Unfortunately very rarely you see good conversations or debates going on for a couple of pages. Which leads me to some trouble everynow and then because I am very opinionated and takes a whole lot of logical reasoning to change my mind or where I stand in any particular subject. If in a nutshell. Kill time and still none of the above. Or suitably just to hang out and see whats going on.

What admin actually meant is what brings you to Carnity every day again and again.

The guy who runs the place asked me to sign up.

I opt for 1st and 3rd option
