Confirm maybe before 28 Dec.

When have you changed the gear oil and gear oil filter? As much as it sound so obvious, but small mistake in spec or fake filter from road side shop can cause lot of trouble. If you are 1% unsure, then as a first rule, buy original gear oil and gear oil filter from Nissan, not BM road shops (even) to rule out 100% oil and filter issue. If still issue persists, I highly recommend first researching on this tell-tale sign on pathy forums or groups to have a collective idea of why its happening. Second, show it to few "GEAR SPECIALIST" (not mech) and get their feedback. Just like you don't want to swap engine because of lazy mechanic can't open the broken plug, hope you rem that. @sertac have you rebuild the gear with all OEM parts or aftermarket parts? As gear builder always give you two options of OEM and first quality aftermarket parts.

True Christmas Gift. Lamborghini sent a real Aventador for son to enjoy for few days.

Love the masking tape idea. Simply GENIUS. Many including myself have got the custom cover for lights made for passing purposes only.

Totally agree with Rahimdad advise, as I was about to advise the same and also some safe sleeping seat or option in car. So you can leave them sleeping once they are tired, slightly away from music and well ventilated.

Sawtooth design with real futuristic looks, I like it overall other than tiny readability issue if you don't know it's Kia. Something similar Kia designer have done with Kia Koup in the past. What do you guys think of this new Kia logo?

Very nice tech, wondering why it hasn't been applied yet. Near my office they open some new roads and added 3 monster bumps with 200 meter gap. They are really bigger and higher than any size of bumps I have seen in Dubai. Must be atleast 1 feet tall, u can easily take off all 4 wheels in the air if you are fast.

No. 10 Trail Blazer is in my family since 2016 and very trouble free car tbh. Even with 130K kms we manage to put 20K kms with just regular service only in last 3 years. Now at 150k we need to change few things under 2k - bushes, boots and mounts etc. regular service items. 4.2 liter engine with 270 hp is great for highway giving around 14-15 l/100 consistently with 50:50 mix driving.

In further description it says for oversize, ask before ordering so I sent the email and waiting for there reply.

Thanks guys for wonderful help. NPR supplies for Mitsubishi https://www.npr.co.jp/english/company/company02.html#pagetitle05 Engine Valves - Aftermarket good company

And for performance builds, which brand you prefer?

I dont mean for Pajero specific anyways, I meant for good quality aftermarket parts maker brand so that I can do the research by myself. Ebay and Amazon has tons of companies from DNZ, Mahle, Hastings, NPR, TP, Federal Mogul etc. but it would be nice to know if anyone has ever used or heard of some good brands here?

I am in process of fixing the Pajero engine and ordered all available OEM parts from Habtoor. Stuck with last two items, so went online and sourced with two different website and both of them returned with 60 days wait time. Initially they accepted the order by saying 7-10 days delivery and later changed to 2 months delay . Is there any "GOOD QUALITY" aftermarket brand equivalent to OEM or even better that I can consider for these? MD135481 Inlet Valves MD330571 Piston Ring 0.5 size

Nice suggestion tbh, but if there was any other better way to handle such announcement we would have done it differently for sure. Promotions are really precious in celebrating one's achievement similar to your kid's first step to their graduation ceremony. No matter how anyone say or feel - I don't care, but it's always nice to see such announcement that made them feel special and acknowledge their learning curve to motivate them for newer ranks. Each individual is unique and so as their friends, followers and admirers are also unique and having all promotion in one mega thread will overly complicate the multiple quotes and messaging same way it does in FB and whatsapp groups. I fully agree that there is a tiny bit of inconvenience to scroll few pixels of screen but trade off on other side is huge. Maybe with growing technology every day @Carnity can look up the way to personalize the latest topics so that user will only see the topics of their interest and not all of the latest activity happening around.

I totally agree with @Brette. I have done 3M Paint protection for my Pajero and it lasted max 6 months instead of 2 year warranty before minor swirls started to appear. However I was impressed with overall shiny look and smooth finish that last till now. It "might be" coz of the special paint and hardener I have used for the paint job and not only coating (not sure 100%). I paid 650 for 3M Paint Protection (Silicon coating) not ceramic, only for exterior from the 1050 package of interior (scotchgard) and exterior (paint protection) from Apex Gulf in 2017. Check the pictures here at there shop, just after the coating.
