QUA DESERT AND AL WAGAN DESERT DRIVE Much awaited Qua drive to conquer the unconquered "Pajero Bowl" It's this humongous bowl from which I was unable to come out and then we have to join tow ropes and winch together to bring my Pajero out. Plan to attempt the same bowl and let's see with cooler weather and calm approach if we can make it out from this bowl this time or not. I'll be very happy if anyone in our car makes it out this time, as we have planned several paths by watching the video a few hundred times. After this challenge, we plan to have a full day drive in two parts: Enter from Wagan straight to Pajero bowl and exit to Qua for prayer, lunch, and refueling Enter from Al Qua and play in those amazing dunes until dark Meeting point: Al Wagan Adnoc Station: https://goo.gl/maps/gyxLBucoksn Pajero Bowl: 38 km from Wagan Adnoc: https://goo.gl/maps/sZcm356thyJ2 Qua Adnoc: Refuel and Lunch: https://goo.gl/maps/szJcnjr1oRu Al Qua Mosque: Friday Prayer: https://goo.gl/maps/NA5xL4LL3LH2 Start Time: 7 AM at Pajero Bowl Option 1: 9 PM, Thursday, 14 Feb 2019 - At Al Wagan Adnoc Station, Camp overnight at Pajero Bowl Option 2: 6 AM, Friday, 15 Feb 2019 - At Al Wagan Adnoc Station, reach Pajero Bowl by 7 AM Finish Time: 7 PM at Qua Adnoc Drive level: Intermediate and above Drive Checklist: Your 4x4 should be well serviced and all lubes and fluid should be topped up 20 Liter water can or equivalent water bottles Air compressor, tow rope, 2 rated shackles, proper shovel, flag, jack, and wooden plank Please ensure that your car is in the best possible condition as this is an area that would definitely test your vehicle.

Thank God, you aren't ruling Dubai @Barry I do admit to waiting for such a discount as I do get the occasional fine in unknown road or roads that have 3-4 different speed limits like once or twice in a year. And these offers do help than paying at regular rates. I like this time smartness of Dubai Police to tie the percentage with the behavior correction x time, that will help bring a lot of good behavior on Dubai roads (I seriously hope).

Newbie drive Maliha/Kalba - 8 Feb 2019
Gaurav replied to Rahimdad's topic in Off-Road Club's Offroad Drives
Hope your friend's Montero is a GLS that is 4WD and not GLX (2WD). -
I think you are right, but I feel the way Dubai Police thinking is for the majority of road users who are usually good driver but get caught for occasional speeding or wrong parking by chance, to give them a second chance. The driver who is speeding regularly will be difficult to change his/her habit for the next 3 months let alone a year and still end up paying the regular fine.

Be a good driver means you should follow traffic rules throughout the year. I just called Dubai Police for more clarity: If you have previous fines from last year, they are also applicable in this "Settle your traffic fines" initiative but the time will start from today. So if from today till next 3 months you follow traffic rules, then last year fine will be discounted by 25%, for 6 months = 50% and so on. If you are renewing your car next month or so, you can renew the car without paying traffic fines. You need to go to the traffic department - they have options to renew your car without paying any fines from Dubai police.

Stunning dunes and deserts outside UAE

Good find Emmanuel, but this dune looks like on top of some tall mountain as neighboring mountain range raises the doubt -
Stunning dunes and deserts outside UAE
Gaurav replied to Emmanuel's topic in Off-Road Club's Discussions
So whose posting a drive? -
As a car enthusiast, I'm sure you must be having tons of experience with mechanics and workshops in UAE. List your worst mechanic experience here with as much as details, I'll start with mine: Back in those when I got my new license and my first car, I was very happy with the first mechanic who has served me honestly and fairly all the times. After I sold my Sunny, I got an Accord, he has been maintaining that as well. Every time I take the car for other jobs, I use to ask him to check everything from engine - gear - bushes etc and every time he used to say yes all done. As few of Honda guys know that Accord is notorious for gearbox failure, so on first jerk or late shifting, I reported to him and ask him to change the gear oil and filter. And after that still gearbox died and I went to gear specialist who showed me stale oil and said it was never changed. That gear rebuilding because of cheating cost me 10 times the price of gear oil change and forced me to not to trust mechanics again. Get a critical job in front of your eyes - no matter how much you trust your mechanic or long relation you had. Then again things change and I met real professionals and start trusting mechanics again but with a "pinch of salt".

Mitsubishi Pajero head gasket is gone
Gaurav replied to Frederic's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
Also, you can call these 6 used spare part guys from your office and see if it helps. From 3 engine swap experience, unless you run around you won't get lucky, mechanics and workshop always have a few hundred customers other than you so they can't spend enough time for one job. https://carnity.com/search?&q=mitsubishi&type=cms_records5&nodes=86&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy There is a way to this and I think I posted here too. I'll dig and get you -

Mitsubishi Pajero head gasket is gone
Gaurav replied to Frederic's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
Make sense to check what's inside the old engine and to what extent damage has been done. Are you in touch with Ahmed from jabal tokyo? And which all places have you scouted the used engine, I know 3 more places -

Ticking/clicking noise - Mitsubishi common issue?
Gaurav replied to Keithryan's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
If you really want to keep this car for a very long time, replacing all 24 is a good idea. Alternatively, you can just replace the one that is affected or a couple more with doubts. This happens due to a late oil change or bad quality or wrong spec engine oil, which if you take care then it won't repeat in future -

Yes weak AC compressor takes time to start effective cooling. Ideally, AC should be cooling within 15-30 seconds of being switched on. @shadow79 and @Barry can advise further
