    I would like to point out a contradiction here, people are free to share with friends and family and ask then to like, but then again that friend or family member has to have 5 posts here for it to be counted? I dont think many have contributing family or friends here. So sharing the review is kinda pointless, unless there is anothe way to like a review. Also supposing someone writes a review and we know there are 1000s of silent, been active in the past and lurking members here and many from those genuine members vote for that review but since they didnt post 4 posts their vote doesnt count? I think that would be unfair. Just sayin' thats all.

    It could be the biggest car wiper system in the universe and maybe it is, but its just that, a car wiper system. If he didnt think of it, someone else would have come up with something similar or even better. I don't buy all that protect the patent BS. He probably thought he could milk for more but was wrong. And I reiterate it was just a wiper system, a billion other patent battles have been fought and won. What makes this so special? Some people think too highly of themselves and maybe he thought a 100ft golden statue of his would be made at the door of the Ford Motor Co where people from world over would make a pilgrimage to pay their respects to the wiper system god .IF he got recognition for it that is.

    Meh! Should have taken the $30 million and chilled for the remainder of his life. Its not like he invented the cure for cancer or free energy for the world that he wanted recognition for it. It was just a car wiper system and even after all that still no one knows or remembers him.

    My thoughts exactly, even if I shat a billion dollars everyday I wouldn't pay that much for a watch.

    According to James May any car tested om the ring is absolute crap because its then setup to do fast laps and is absolute shit as a daily driver. He even did a whole segment on this when he was with Top Gear. Driving around town in cars developed at the ring. And BMW in my view have lost the plot when it comes to SUVs anything they did outside the X5 failed. This is increasingly becoming a really stupid trend among all manufacturers. The entire line up starts to look like one car and now that even different car from different manufacturers are starting to look the same in 5-10 all cars will look like rebadged versions of one single car. This is almost true in the medium size SUV market already.

    I know there are such gauges and they are precise I have a couple to test fuel rail pressure but didnt know in dash mech gauges existed. Who needs the added headache of plumbing going all the way feom the dash to motor

    No it's not, as stated previously in this thread, semi synth is bogus as even 1% synth oil mixed in and it can be called semi synth as there is no set standard as what qualifies as semi synth. Also as mentioned earlier and many disagreed to this but 40w is too light for this country where temps in summer are always above 40 more close to 50. I've read many owners manuals that say to use higher grade oil in higher temp environment, Ive posted a chart from my own manual sonewhere in this forum showing the same. Using fully synth 50w oil and you should be fine. You can switch back to 40w in cooler months if you like

    Good decision to buy the entire halfcut, always helps to have parts handy.

    Really? Didnt even know indash non mechanical gauges existed, who would want that, just another point of failure for you coolant or oil to leak

    I had a friend who had replaced stock gauges with this or something very similar to this as it looked exactly like this on his modified Jeep TJ. Looked real ugly TBH

    Yup, they are trying to turn into Dubai heritage village kind of place, Although progress has been very very slow. I was roaming around there last Friday also, have put up a fence around it, but still open to come and go, guessing soon it will closed off

    But if you have permission and support its awesome fun, feel like presidential motorcade. Police blocking off the traffic for you, Police escort block intersections and you get to jump every red light and cameras flashing and no fines. Im the one with the red land rover discovery. https://youtube.com/watch?v=e18lJBBrOj4

    That was when LHD cheap BMWs were being imported by the boat load from Japan. Before that there was a glut of CB6 American Edition Accord Coupes from Japan. Almost everybody you knew had one. When they first arrived they were being sold for 30k ish towards the end of the trend they were going for as low as 5-7k The second hand car importers see what is popular and then over saturate the market.

    That seems about right. As far as I can remember it was around 12-13 sec mark anyways so being as old it is for sure some ponies have escaped. Maybe with a full tune up you can gain a few seconds. Im sure there are ton of video s om YouTube showing a similar pajero doing a 0-100 blast watxh then and compare it to yours. Yours actually might be still in the 12-13 sec mark since you've never actually timed it. Just seems like longer, because 12seconds is not fast by any means and does feel like an eternity.
