best go for honda if its versus mazda but if you asking for honest opinion then dich all and go for a lexus

you have cars from alfa romeo to zonda here that means all of them have their unique powertrain, chassis and body designs diagnostic machines to learn all of them is outright impossible. it's like asking a guy to loosen the head bolts with your bare hands if you take electronics work to a simple mechanic then its your mistake that he couldn't fix it. doing exactly that and crying out loud that mechanics here don't know anything is absurdly wrong you have to take it to a proper technician who is a specialist and is well equipped to get it diagnosed and fixed will surely be in the best interest and as you have experienced yourself that good work takes time as too much resources are allocated to it and something which consumes time should be adequately compensated that's how it goes in almost all the trade in the world or else they won't be surviving as you yourself have lived your last life as a mechanic but time and again yet people have to remind you to be courteous, polite which is in essence to whole point of this forum

its just one ole chance you get lucky when some cars share same or with minor difference i have heard somewhere that mazdas used to share parts with maseratis now you wont always find such chances as it back fires too i had a ford explorer 95 come in for a shot alternator its already a rare car so upon digging i got a alternator of a very new model which matches it and it was very expensive in the end we just changed the armature and its carbon plate and said him byes

maybe you forgot to mention about the crumbling interior and the electric glitches which sometimes poof the modules

could be clutch problem could or the high side pressure sensor which should just cutoff the compressor when the high side reaches very high pressures...could also be the compressor itself or the gas levels are not right cant be said unless hooked up to a manifold and some looking into it...

have quite a few stories of European cars laying around in sanaya only because parts are not available most of the time not even in agency there is a 2008 a6 laying in my friends garage roting because of key issue apparently it needs bcm engine computer and the whole steering column almost same shit happened to my lancer the key broke in the cylinder I just took out the transponder chip and stuck it up the cylinder receiver and bought a IG switch and a spring switch for the starter its been over 4 months and best 20 bucks spent its running like a charm...bet your 2006 lancer doesn't start with a push button

that so called jap crap will take you from A to B beautifully how many 190e you seeing at the streets and how many corolla from even br that era you see on the streets..?

5k is good money if hooked at the right place there are many cars you can get for that price first being the knuckle head camry from 98 to 2001 https://tnydu.biz/DOwCTt its a strong car have one running with us for more then a decade..its a iron block engine does not die easily. parts are very easy to get... https://tnydu.biz/DOwBxX then there is a dodge durango from 98 to 04 is a 8 cyl elephant has a hami engine is sure a strong sturdy car one of my customers has one of these cars he sold it and the next one sold it to another all along with my shop address for service and arranging its parts too had to run around a bit until i found a guy shj who would stock these cars https://tnydu.biz/DOvyDs then you can get beetle above 2k model the interior in this car is just ready to break if you touch it like the glove box center console and the door panels those are bit hard to find specially of matching colors hell who cares you said it just has to move from a to b and i guess it fits the criteria nicely other than that the mechanical section parts are available and 1 thing is crazy in this car the driver side window regulator is expensive than the passenger side one go figure... you also can get your hands on corolla 93 to 2001 at his range or less and those car run great with great mileage and parts are available almost everywhere you can also get nissan sunny 95 to 2005 for this range and up to 2k they are very strong cars after that its just a money pit you can also get altima 03 to 06 or 07 but those cars are also unreliable easily shot and also the interior problems with them sucks big time then there is the mitsubishi magna and galant which are just always waiting for parts but the lancer is a different story its a good car has good mileage no use flooring it as it is not a sporty jock as compared to others in this range class but will just run nicely...parts are pretty strong and they last guess that should be enough for now

cherokees have a very delicate electronic system any sensor or actuator giving out of spec readings will trigger the no bus message and some times all hell unleashed on the electronics...as its a bus system

plugs and coil pack...

continuous revving on lower gears makes the the coolant expand and spit out of reservoir...when doing such kind of driving ensure to keep an eye for the temp. gauge and oil pressure gauge...well leave it to cool off nicely and top up with coolant or water and bleed off the system if equipped with such keep an eye in the radiator cap place and see if any bubbles are coming up if not then all is good P.S do the last step when car is sitting up all night or at least such time has passed to gauge the damage if any that occured or else better yet let some professional mechanic handle such things there is high risk of cap flying off and you burning your self

eid mubarak to everyone...

this is one of the days in when the road to jebel jais was still in papers and not in real there used to be a beaten path up till wadi beah i guess it was 98 or 99 eid time i with a group of friends had my dads trusty corolla 86 we want up to wadi beah it was winter time and the place was just full of fog so dense we couldn't see a flying fuck anywhere so some were spooked and some were just in for the sake of fun of it we had planned to spend the night there in the wadi so were prepared with some lenins and covers and bbq stuff when we reached and spread the sitting and water was just condensing on top of everything we couldn't even start a fire and gave up and then after having chit chat about things and started to just doze off it was really cold there in sometime later in the night i woke up to a wired sound my eyes opened and i am just trying to feel my friends nearby as i could see anything. there was no one in the blanket everyone just jumped in the car and had the heater running we then packed up and made a run back and some times later on i mentioned that i woke up to a sound which they spooked one then related to we never stopped by for the night in that area.... P.S :i got my D/L sometimes in 2014...

just clearing the thoughts of where will things be moving just in case anyone wonders whats gonna happen to a engine

seems it also could be the wiring to the ecu if you have changed to a known working sensor... if you can show what was the initial computer diagnosis that would also help to the right direction...

just in case to everyone here the strip down of the engine is what hopefully @Barry has mentioned earlier...as i am having a feeling that the spot light is moving somewhere else here it seems

guess after eid i will be going there to search for some parts in that area will get numbers for you...

i wouldn't mind to flip it and remove some bolts as long as @Barry bhai and @Gaurav bhai are here and ofcourse with a few chilled green teas as well

i had a pajero sent in for timing belt replacement i replaced it and started all was good but as the customer came to take the car it just went cucu and just shut off all interior lights, remote and combination switch functions on its own called @Barry and he said to just check some fuses on the inside of the car i checked and vola all was good but still no fuses were burnt maybe it was some resistance problem in voltage which made it behave like that but still he saved all the trouble which i was gonna take by removing the things related to all those components the next night the customer came and took his car happly...

what car it is maybe a replacement window would be cheap as sometimes those pesky passing guys will suck on it to fail the car too

auto jabain and auto chockup are some shops from where i got refurbished shocks for a merc and rr i guess they also repair and give warranty on their work they both are at cola road

there is sound from top end too one head also

yes @desertdude is right if you have a manual or just check with someone who has the same model and spec car if the pajeros have the auto up feature or not in the first place... i have had pajeros come in but never had to fiddle with the window of any maybe @Barry can shed some light on this matter... whenever i get stuck or lost in some problem he save's the day specially in pajero problems...

stating what is beaten and how much beaten can only be found out by a tear down of this engine and after a few words with a guy who works in habtoor said if the problem is down then let go of the engine if its in the head only then its fine you can go for rebuild... and i think the upgraded pistons bearings and rings will suerly need a upgraded head compnents as well then it all boils down to cost and the ultimately passing issue with higher co's as bearing in mind that the lathe works is still not as completely professional as in western countries where they actually boil the components and then start work on them and they have proper measuring tools which even gauge the difference in very mute scalings if it were any other car which is a occasional off roader or only street driving then no problem the rebuild is still possible hell even one of the 3 engines which gaurav bhai checked out was tadd good to be tossed in for 2.5k instead of going for all the trouble and still it would work out just fine but i have seen them drive its full time hardcore off roading....

the engine is old so it surely has been well passed the break in period...the only explanation there is of a knocking engine is oil lubrication... as after inspection of oil there were shiny particles in oil which is a sign of bearings and journals.... and engines don't go poof and die surely there was a sign the car would have run a bit sluggish or heavy way before it made the sound or engine died... there should not be any major difference in 5 or coupe version engine or transmission of same years
