HI Mathu, it is only for fewbie and above level. Appreciate if you can please withdraw your name. @Alexander Sarte same goes for you too, please.

If you still like to embed videos here then make sure its in MP4 format as what you uploaded in MOV format. That only loads in IOS devices and not on Android and Windows. That's why uploading them on youtube is better to share the link here that automatically get embedded after 2 second of copy paste.

@Karam Hako can you help my friend with above request....?

OK seems like all options have been well discussed now. Let me start with my experience with my reasoning's. I had on board compressor with air tank in my Nissan patrol SWB. It worked great but took lot of space and due to space constraint when things started stuffing around the compressor and tank with offroad beating things started to fail: Valve, switch, joiners, pipe and almost every week I use to get something or the other sorted. Then I removed the air tank and decided to live with on-board compressor alone, time difference was 4 minutes extra for all 4 tires inflation. But it was still a headache to store long hose pipes, joiner under seat in my dinky Patrol. When I sold that Patrol, I bought bushranger compressor that cost me now 1.5-2 min / tire. All tires within 10 min max. It wraps up in small bag and sit on one corner and take all the offroad abuse as everything is dismantled. Costed 700 (I think) and still working after 10 years now. If my existing bushranger dies (whenever), I will upgrade to more heavy duty bushranger, ARB, smitybilt compressor due to speed, ease of use, less space, less maintenance, less parts for to fail. Every option comes with their own pros and cons for different mindset so you pick yours and see which one makes you happy. All inflation under 2 min + expensive + space + maintenance All inflation under 5-6 min + space All inflation under 10 min

Happy Women's Day to all the lovely ladies here.

And it should be tested in Liwa by Japanese Engineer, right....?

So true, I will be scared to buy a car that doesnt have FSH and if owner look too lost or busy to know "How car works". If it's high mileage low cost desert warrior, I wouldn't bother much on service history rather than its current running condition. Read this too:

Even if radiator is leaking...? Even if viscose clutch fan is working at half speed...?

I hope I am not late to this party. Boiling is a sign of coolant leak somewhere as DD mentioned. Get that checked first from where it's leaking and get that fixed. Please do not spend even 1 dhs on educated guesswork, because in overheating there are so many things involved that everyone here is right in there own way, but there own way may not be the same as your current problem. So you might spend all the money in mods and still face the same issue. If after leakage stops, it still overheats then get your radiator viscose clutch fan checked if its working when car is overheating or not. If your radiator fan is still running on normal speed (not on full speed) while car was overheating in the desert, that means viscose clutch fan need a replacement (500-800 Dhs) or you can run a direct clutch to make that run at high speed all the time. (50 Dhs). This is totally acceptable mod in GCC heat for off-road cars. Second step, get a switch install to start AC electric fan without AC running, because original AC fan is huge and ideally make a lot of difference when car is overheating in the desert. (50 Dhs). If these two brings good result: Option 1: Live with it and switch off AC whenever car overheats. Option 2: Install 2 more fans and run them on demand with AC. If AC fan and direct clutch fan wont help, then: Upgrade to slightly bigger radiator, preferably copper+ aluminium core Change the thermostat Change the coolant

3 to 4 mm level drop taken on cold on both days is a notable drop, but if it was only on first day (one time) then ignore it. If its dropping 3-4 mm everyday while reading taken on cold start, yes it's a concern. Extended Warranty is good if its same as original warranty, as in many cases car dealers here remove expensive items from extended warranties like electronic suspension, gear box, engine etc. Read it through properly before buying it. Also if EAS changed recently under warranty then for next 2 years it wont fail, so no need for extended warranty IMHO. Also do the cost benefit of price of warranty vs EAS replacement cost as LR engines and gearbox are usually good until 200-300k kms if maintained properly.

Like this one, maybe.....?

The most hilarious and appropriate explanation of modern day 4x4/AWD/SUV saga.
