  1. That's a new stuff, I heard today: battery conditioner. How does it look like barry? and how to install by DIY? and where to hide the solar panel so that no one steals it? and what to do in underground or shaded parking like mine? I usually keep it on and then jump start if it doesn't crank, at least it will power up all security module needed for long standing in my absence.

  3. Thanks ruben, what is 15 and 17 and how to find out which number I have in my Pajero?
  4. Totally agree, lol. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
  5. I have no idea on pricing, but be very careful if you still buy and offroad.
  6. Knowing your liking and owning of CRV, I would highly advise the RAV4, it's a Toyota piece of gold, that holds the best resale among the whole lineup of Toyota and damn reliable and proven.
  7. Considering the age and mileage its not wise to spend money on this model, as its parts are expensive and no matter how cheap you are buying you will spend VERY GOOD fortune on spare parts in less than a year with this high mileage. Answering your specific questions: It's just ok in the desert, nothing wow or even good. If it's SWB 3.0 then its good. LWB 3.0 is barely enough for sand, but wadi drive should be fine. Basically, it's underpowered for real offroad use. Not really, except bumper scoop. With 3.0 LWB, you wont be able to climb so high to scoop tbh, but yes there are easy ways to fix this scoop issue in less than 300-400 dhs. Not worth spending money on this, as you won't keep this car for long - for sure. Just learn and move on (at max).

  9. Hi Saad, please post your advert here: https://carnity.com/classifieds/
  10. Saleem, what you are referring to scrap parts experience of way too old and/or discontinued model like galant, galloper. Read OP and Rahul don't mention new / old / ancient. For any car brand all dealer parts are obliged to store parts until 10 years after its discontinued, so go to the dealer next time and save the hassle.
  11. Amaron, Exide and Yuasa are among the best for Japanese cars. You can't go wrong with any of those brands. Varta, Energizer and Duracell are good too, but mostly for European makes and slight expensive than above three options.
  12. Feel free to change or not, but not on parts availability theory. That's not true. Period.
  13. NOT TRUE AT ALL. I'm having one since last 7 years, and never encountered the time when Habtoor doesn't have any parts for Pajero. First it's a Mitsubishi - third most famous brand in UAE. Second it's Pajero - flagship marquee of Mitsubishi. @shadow79 How many Pajero you owned? Or just saying based on some random guy story, who couldn't afford Pajero spare parts and sold the car in covering up with this story of non-availability. I highly agree that Mitsubishi parts are damn expensive, but they also last FOREVER that makes them worth the extra cost.
  14. Hi, Behzad nice to see you the other day and it's good you join here to make use of car knowledgebase. To start, can you be more specific on your wife SUV requirements like 5/7 seater, school run, long drive, weekend driver, mall cruiser etc. to get you appropriate advise. Although I don't have anything against SantaFe, it's parts and maintenance is equally expensive as Japanese SUV so be open to all Japanese brands too for better resale. One of my friend wife drives the same for work and I know the expensive parts and service story.
  15. I had an ML500 for almost two years and it was very nice SUV and ownership was a tad expensive than Japanese. Though you are familiar with BMW maintenance cost, so you won't feel much difference in Merc here. Just make sure that you buy the car that has full-service history and you also try to get the basics done by the dealer until it's 5 years of age. After that, there are many Mercedes experts that you can switch to MercedesRus, Silber arrow, Munich motors etc. For check-up before buying you can use the dealer or any of the above to have peace of mind for the long run.
