    the options are still being explored...but the dohc 24 valve is the unique factor which shapes this car..if we toss in the 3.5 one then it will be under powered...

    if it has 1 side auto feature then it should go all the way up or or all the way down in auto but in toyota or lexus it usually has the both side auto feature so works both ways as it button has 4 switches in the single button and don't know about pajero but in lancer it has the down auto only for driver window

    it could be a sludged idle speed control valve as your problem is only visible during idle it could point towards fuel pump pressure coils and injectors if the missing was rpm or speed related why dont you remove that speed control thingy and get it cleaned nicely and toss it back in and while you are at it also get the throttle body cleaned too and keep an eye out for that air filter thingy as its almost always overlooked...

    @Asif Hussain bhai the tow hook should be sorted after eid as the last time i went they were out of hooks the trailer tows are pretty expensive but not suitable for this application for the time being please make use of the epilictal bows on both sides of the car in the rear i am sure they are sturdy enough for this job

    you fault or not your fault i always thought that you have to take the vehicle to their place so they take the pictures and later recommend you a workshop to go to for fixing and if the vehicle is immobile then i guess still you have to take it to the insurance and from there they usually haul it wherever they want...

    if you cough up the details then someone might be able to shed some light here

    camrys are always a reliable and strong cars except the a/c system in the newer ones with the sensor type compressor that also can be sorted by reverting to the old type compressor other than that all is good...

    in full insurance side i think the award goes to axa we had a friend who had a ktm in his wearhouse he used to drive it at times it didn't had number plate but was full insured so once the warehouse caught fire and the whole place went toast with the bike in it and they at first gave some rounds and made him run here and there but at the end they reimbursed the market price of the bike and in third party side well whatever is cheaper i m on that side so many times i have gone through various companies as i also get customer cars to process the registration

    i have to agree here that theory and real time are very different things...
  17. shadow79
    dear get it scanned if no codes turn up then it would be wise to get the real time data of the sensors and actuators described earlier you will surely stumble upon the fault which can be sorted...nissans are not much from toyotas i am sure the one who fixes the toyotas will be able to fix your nissan too

    @desertdude the only time i have seen a fan blade f**k**g the radiator assy and even cracking open the timing cover and on the was screwing god know what was surely only in a Range Rover but till date mind you i work in automotive industry and my views are based on a very wide network of shops where we get to meet and share stories have yet to see that in a japanese car the scenario you described
  19. shadow79
    it seems sure is @desertdude but the idea behind it is very beautiful its very economical (less fuel consuming design) and it also will give you no feel when its cycling on and off as opposed to many conventional compressors tripping on and off you can surely make out...but the ugly thing is they are as of yet not reliable... when we get a car like this we just give the options to the owner to go the original way and face the same shit again in near future or else just drop the whole system and revert to the conventional compressors which are hands down very stubborn things and last

    the new corollas don't have the magnetic clutch in them now lately they have begun to implement a direct drive compressor with a solenoid in the rear which controls the flow of refrigerant to the compressor and those are nasty compressors....i have worked on them and you should change the whole system and yet sometimes it fails as those compressors have a refrigerant controlled slider bearing which does not slide at times and thus you get hot or normal air instead of cold

    as @Gaurav bhai always mentions that safety is paramount which is ofcourse a very good thing but under no circumstances or any moment in the drive did @Rahimdad bhai felt that the car is unsafe for him or us as a convoy was a danger above all we all came there to have some together time and share a passion we all love together so such a small thing which didn't even break the entire drive should have forced us to cut short our drive it is not justifiable as long as we have plan b with us there should not be any changes the convoy must run to its fullest
  22. shadow79
    the cars you have mention @desertdude should run fine if you are not using anything which is auxiliary like light or radio or a/c only bare minimum usage should last you quite long those cars are not described as juice thirsty...maybe it was running on battery power way before you noticed the alternator not making juice.... sometimes the battery light is not there but still its not producing the right amperes to support the electrical infrastructure it was designed to hold
  23. shadow79
    the battery light only comes on when the armature is not producing magnet (not making juice) there are also various other reasons where the battery won't be charging like the stator being grounded and or the regulator burned in open circuit or the diode plate being bad... well at the time it was day light so that delco powered car should have run fine and if god forbid it was the other way around it had failed i knew of 3 other batteries which could have been swapped and the car would have kept running while the battery would have been charged in other cars... and trust me we have managed with many interesting things thrown at us because as a team have eachothers backs to support on the goods were in our terms and the car finished the drive and came in next day to change the belts at the workshop...
  24. shadow79
    With all loads it should last atleast 3.5hrs also depends on how juice thirsty your car is.. I have people come in with interior lights flickering during night driving and yet they didn't know that their alternator is toast and they have been using the car for few days with the battery light on
  25. shadow79
    It was my call to not deter the plan a dead alternator can survive from 6 to 3 and half hrs depending on the age of battery and the electrical load which is running and even if all odds were against us and that thread like belt also ripped then I always have few tricks up my sleeve to not spoil the fun we have 😂
