  1. Oh, you recently busted it, I thought you were telling from your past experience. Sorry to hear that, are you rebuilding or going for scrap one? Which year your Pajero is?
  2. Well A/T light is never good and you should never drive when A/T light is ON. Well, you were lucky that you just lost the transmission that can be rebuilt or replaced, but in some extreme cases it can heat up to an extent to blow off a hose and car catching fire from underneath. Impossible to tackle that fire unless you have fire extinguisher pointing at the base of a burst hose - extremely difficult to trace while the car is catching fire.
  3. 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
  4. Is that the central diff lock light or transmission A/T warning light.....? If it's A/T warning light, PLEASE DONT DRIVE and put it on recovery and let professional mechanic diagnose and change gear oil and filter first and see if that light goes away. Please explain if it's A/T light then we can advise you further.
  5. Which year Pajero you are referring...?
  6. If yes you are in big trouble. I'll be the first one to beg you to take one for me for my beloved Pajero with milky way.
  7. Do record some videos of those monsters playing in the Awir sand, that must be like Transformers swimming in the swimming pool. If you really like to test them, plan to take them to Liwa or Sweihan for full-scale testing.

  13. Sure sir, I'll join you let's coordinate the meeting time and place on WhatsApp
  14. I turned 39 with lots of white hair, never got a reason to hide with a henna or dye. I like salt n pepper style more.

    Off-road insurance coverage is not mandatory for self-driving your 4x4, but in case of an accident or mishap happens then you got to fix your car by yourself. I'm driving without offroad insurance for the last 10 years and only been in an accident (mishap) once. If you are a sensible driver who listens and follows briefing properly you'll be fine.
  16. I have few friends who have used Total Chaos and swear by it, it's really a rally grade stuff. You can get them from Mebar auto or TORC, both are in al quoz.
  17. Thanks, Guys for valuable inputs and so far I'm inclined on Samsung or similar options for 3 prime reasons: 4-5 day battery life, one less headache to charge daily. (BIG REASON) Customizable dial to place things on screen that matters the most unlike Apple (less customizable). Prefer round shape than square for classic watch feel. Anyone using Fitbit, Huawei GT here and what's there feedback? @syedyaseer I used to be Sony fan as well and ditched in 2017 and switch to Samsung Note and now I like my Note much better than all previous Sony Xperia I used and also better than my current iPhone.
  18. Beautiful video at Al Qudra Desert, thanks for sharing. Congrats on Saluki securing second position and your co-pilot achievement along with Mark Powell impeccable driving
  19. I wish if it was that simple, but let's keep it short by saying I like both equally and now looking for capable and useful smartwatch apart from the fluff offered through all review videos.
  20. Sorry to not to mention this before, which seems like a root cause to my confusion. I'm using both iPhone and Samsung Note.
  21. Which you will choose and why? I am evaluating smartwatch evolution from last few years and I think now it has reached to a stage where I can ditch my old fashion timepiece due to sturdiness, battery life and varies watch faces available with these wearable smart watches now. I'm not a smartwatch kind of a guy yet, so prefer to hear from someone who is using one on actual things to consider before buying your first smartwatch. I'm confused between Samsung watch 4 - 46mm vs Apple watch 4 - 44mm.
  22. Well, get the basic industrial shovel for 10-15 dhs that comes with wooden handle and metal scoop. And keep trying the full metal, as it's always a good practice to keep two shovels because many times when you are stuck everyone will come near your car to inspect and then go back to there car to get shovels. If you have two that can speed up recovery faster.
  23. And unfortunately your drive lead is a sober guy, so you can't even bribe him with Mezcal to keep the drive on with 3 cars. Maybe think of something else.
