BTW @syedyaseer hope you have changed your tires to summer air.

Since i am having my SLK200 i am hearing many horror stories regarding the cabriolet cars. Like they are leaking water and when the car get old system is not working properly etc. There are 2 points you need to take care with your cabriolet to avoid these problems; 1-Use gummi pflege to keep your rubber seals maintained. There are many product you can use for that. As SLKWORLD forum members recomend best thing to use is gummi pflege https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-91480615-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber/dp/B004B8GTQG I couldnt manage to find this product in UAE(i just search online) so i start looking for alternatives and i find the product of Sonax https://www.ramyautomotive.com/all-products/car-care/diy-and-resellers/sonax-rubber-protectant-300-ml.html Since it is sprey it is not ideal but you can sprey it to a cloth and than you can apply it to rubber seals all around the roof. Also it is better to apply this product all rubber seals around the car like doors and trunk to keep them in better condition. 2-Use lithium grease to keep your roof system move free. You need to apply lithium grease to every moving part of your roof system. There are many moving part in the roof system. If they wont move free they will cause your roof to be stuck. I bought the grease from carrefour. With this 2 easy step you can have a healty convertible car.

...and they managed to set the bar very high in the process; it will now be extremely difficult for any manufacturer the beat the sheer ugliness of this monstrosity.

@RahimdadIt's 32PSI. Do I need to increase?

Toyota rebadged Bmw Z4

Supra!!

@Javier M in that case you haven't seen me drive when I'm fasting.

What a good boy answer!! 😂

Can;t Afford you bro 😉

Whatever is available in the garage. Be careful with windscreen washer reservoirs. They’re a hot breeding ground for legionnaires disease. It’s always better to use something that will kill the bacteria. If you use just water, try running your finger on the inside of the bottle. That slimy biofilm stuff, it’s worse for you than you could ever imagine.

I haven't noticed any difference, people drive just as bad as always.

Very nicely emphasised @MATHEW FELEX, really well done. I like to bit more emphasis on point no: 4 for people who aren't fasting, be MORE patient and considerate to others who are fasting, as they are rushing home or out for breaking the fast, but you can be late by few minutes to reach home. During this Ramadan, I had 2 instances where I have to drive just before Iftar, and after seeing some car reactions. I decided to drive on last lane for being considerate and for my own safety.

As for your own DIY process, Dishwashing soap works the best. Try it out yourself on a Glass of drinking water to test it out. What ever you use on it and it gives you that clean glass feeling with your eyes closed and makes the squeaky sound. That’s the one you want to have to mix it with the water in the windshield washer tank. When you go to buy the solution of the shelf, usually they are just glass cleaners which are diluted with water and put into bottles for you to pickup, pour and use. And if your cleaning your windshield from inside and it has that oily reflective white Smokey residue which is very Annoying at night. It doesn’t give you a good viewing vision every time a light hits from the opposite direction. This usually is found in car that are of regular smokers, just make sure you use few plys from the kitchen roll instead of newspaper reason being that the ink from the newspaper won’t stick back onto your windshield. Yes the newspaper does the job and you keep cleaning it regularly in a couple of days or once a week. But with the kitchen roll it’s made to absorb the oils and has not ink coming off it. So you tend to have a clean sparkly windshield like those commercial advertisements 😝. AS SHOWN ON TV.

To be totally honest I don't remember that incident. And yes Discos torque which starts from very low rpms and pretty much stays level throughout the rpm band makes it a tough offtoader. Even after many years of driving it it would occasionally surprise me. Like a drive in wagan ( anothe one of those private drives ) I was following PR on his quad badger. We had to cross over a big wall of dunes and there was a little dip on top between the peaks so he chose to go through that. He went across and I went after him after completing ty climbing instead of a ridge there was a tiny but deep bowl on top between the dune peaks and I had no choice but to go into it. It's sides were steep and twice or thrice the height of my car. If I bent down I could barely see the edge from the top of my windscreen.and maybe 5 feet space in the back and front. I knew I wasn't getting out of it easily and without help but I sais what's the harm in at least trying once. So I backed up as much as I could in the tight bowl which wasn't much and then just mashed the pedal. AND LO and behold. The thing slowly like a tank on tracks climbed up the wall and over the edge to the other side. I saw the look on PRs face, his jaw firmly on the floor and then realized so was mine! Just couldnt believe what had just happened !!! Ayoubs XJ was next followed by a TJ wrangler needless to say we spent sometime trying to help those cars go through this bowl. So back on topic the most fun I've had was in nom club drives and new to me areas. Like when me Sikander bhai in his TJ and ayoub in his XJ went for a full day exploration drive from marqaub to lisaili. Hitting the small technical dunes first to get to the shade of the trees for some lunch. Then checking out the sandstone formations and then hitting the big dunes to end the drive. Or my first drive to sweihan once again with two XJs. Almost flipped on that one as I got stuck on a very high and very sharp ridge. With the ridge going from the center of the car front to back. Was ridge riding and got bogged down in soft sand. And while trying to reverse it started to tilt dangerously to one side so had to anchor it to one of the XJs on he one side and slowly crawl back. And many such drives. Yup got to agree, 8-10 drives over a span of 2 yrs is nothing.

Before I switched to dishwasher, then just water I always used Sonnax windscreen washer fluid. Available for 5 DHs at the gas stations. Unlike dishwasher it wasn't too sudsy and didn't leave streak marks.

Putting dish liquid or shampoo makes the wipers last bit longer from what I have seen...

https://www.aceuae.com/en/ace-uae/266696 Camco Xtreme Blue Windshield Washer – 3.78 liters This is just 9 dhs for an entire gallon and is a Made in USA product. You will find it in any of the Ace hardware stores and should last you a year easily. Quality product. Solid detergent quality and good lubricity for the wiper/glass contact.

Hi, I am having great difficulty with these new point system to keep membership alive. although I understand this is to get people posting etc this should not be forced. it has taken me over 15 minutes to get this post written as I keep getting the message to upgrade to active membership and when I try to do this I get message that I do not have enough points. deeply frustrating. it just might be me as others seem to be comfortable. it sure is not working for me. regards srini

Thanks to all seniors same case of mine as well like @srini62 will try to keep updates and active in group see you on 17th May

In my experience cleaning flushing having it rodded out really doesnt help fpr some reason. Only proper cure Ive found is to get a new radiator and don't skimp and get a 400dhs dolphin radiator too.

Normal temperature for the Pajero is just below the half way mark. In bumper to bumper traffic with limited airflow through the radiator it can happen that the engine heated up a bit. But if it returned to normal in smooth traffic then it should not be a concern. Anyways do check your coolant level and if it keeps happening you might want to have a look at your radiator an maybe get it flushed.

Thanks gaurav and Emmanuel, lets hope I do not have to keep getting my points donation begging bowl out each month. look forward to seeing you all on 17 th may regards srini

@srini62 Emmanuel has just donated 100 points and you can upgrade to Active Membership now without any frustrations. @Dubasel Welcome to Carnity and it's offroad club, if you are a contributor then you can earn these 100 points in a day or two by posting a new topic, replying to others, liking or appreciating any comments, posting pictures in the gallery etc. After 9 years of consideration and observation - Carnity has taken this bold step to prefer 1 active member against 1000 sleeping members, to keep this one and only "Active" Car Community alive in UAE.

As being 1st Day of Summer Please make sure all of you change the Air of your Tires to Summer Air, As hotter days apporach it will help your tires co op with the heat of Road. Specially those doing 4WD. its important to remove that Winter Air and Get Summer Air. Please while you are doing you Air check your Blinker Fluids too. Please watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t09qfrYwok for reference. Believe Me.

I ran out of blinker fluid on SZR once. Swapping lanes and getting T boned by a Nissan Batrol who ran out of flasher and horn oil at the same time isn’t fun. Maintain your cars!

Wait till you see what the headlight oil comes in.

Never knew summer and winter air comes in a can too, just like the elbow grease comes in a pickle jar

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

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

I'll be coming with Wifey's car, kids, and mother in law..., please send me your thoughts and prayers 🤣
