Hi @Sajith Kumar can you please let me know what shops did you have that seat upholstered? Thanks

@vishlad702 Sorry for the confusion and not mentioned that I replaced the list attached,. that was the quote I received from Habtoor.

@vishlad702 I just replaced my front shock absorbers a month ago and I let Autopro to replaced it for me rather than Habtoor. You will got a good labour discount (50%) if maybe you purchased the DSF Nissan Patrol promotion raffle coupon (Etisalat, Du, Salik card). Just a suggestion in case your concern with the budget too. I recommend Auto Pro Al Nahda 1, there were two technicians there that worked from Mitsubishi Habtoor and they handle the job very well. >Habtoor Quote = 3490AED > Auto Pro with the 50% Labour discount, I payed: 2500AED

Hi Maharuf, Yes your right. I just done mine too last 29th August at the Agency its good that they have the offer and still going on. I was about to buy only parts that time with them and let my known Garage to do the timing belt replacement, comparing the spare parts (discounted) plus the Garage will charge me against the Agency Offer, I'd realize that its just a matter of 500-600 AED I can save with the garage, so I decided to let the Agency do it.

Thanks Stig.. I just visited one tyre shop in Al Quasis and they are promoting it, its Made in Thailand tyre and the thread of this tyre looking very closed look with my Latitude Michelin tyre.

Hi guys, Is there anyone tried and used Arroyo Tires before? May I know your reviews or comments on this tire? thanks

Excellent Review @skumar83

Thanks Brandan

Hi Treks, I can say accessibility as Mazda gear oils only available in Mazda/ Galadari agency. Galadari garage & their repair agency are always busy and they required to leave the car for the whole day with them just to change the gear oils.

Dear Mates, Any suggestions for alternative gear oil for Mazda 3? Did someone from Mazda 3 owners here change gear oils from other garage? Thanks

Custom made you can try in Damascus Street, Dubai, there's about 4-6 shops if your heading to Sharjah it was on the Right Side (from Spinneys/ Snow white Garments till next Traffic Signal) they're doing a custom seat cover & floor mats which as per texture & quality that might fit on your budget but as Danny said it will cost you 600-800 or till 1000 I can say, which I guess more worth to have than the ready made which cost you around 600.

Hi Rahim, Till now I did not try to work on this one, but last time I visit some of the spare parts store in Al Quasis and look for the cabin air cleaner element for old pajero model, they told me that its not available. Thanks

Agree with shadow79, its a strong car and reliable car as well. I have mazda 3 (2012) and Im using it for my daily drive to work-home Abu dhabi- Dubai everyday. for straight 4.5 years. What major issue I found with this car was, about the transmission, It's gave a jerk while the gear shifts from higher gear to the lower gear (I guess it's happen due to my way of driving before which sometimes I do Engine break & setting it to manual transmission while overtaking). It was fixed at least by changing one sensor on the transmission & changing the gear oil. (note that original gear oil is only available from them). Its a good car just ensure that it has taking care by the first owner & well maintained as well.

Hi Rahim, Didn't have time yet to work on that, I'll plan to do it on my leave this coming March. I'll update you with that. Regards

Thanks Rahim for your advise and sharing this video.

Dear Mates, Is it true that Pajero 2012 model doesn't have cabin air filter?, I have a used one and I requested Al Habtoor to change it but they said it doesn't have cabin filter, but from the internet it says that it has to be change at least every 6 months. I am complaining with them the bad smell of the rear fan everytime I switched it as well. Might you can help me to get rid of it, I tried SONAX the one available from Zoom/ ENOC but still the smell was their. Thanks in Advance.

Any comments or reviews with XADO auto lube service? Please share any experience with thier service. Thanks

Thanks for the info,. that's a great news for us, especially doing a long drives everyday., I'll definitely buy and had it on my dashboard.

On my 2012 Sedan car since new, I tried at least 3 brand of tires already they are: 1) TOYO- Original tires from purchased (2012) (Tire Rotation done regularly) My Review: Good road handling but easy to wear & road noise/ noisy tires 2) Hankook Ventus- Installed around Oct. 2013 (Tire Rotation done regularly) My Review:Comfort, Quiet but less response on breaking 3) Nitto- Installed around July 2015 (Tire Rotation done regularly) My Review: Good grip on the road & Handling, little bit noisy on the road Next week, again I am planning to replace my Nitto tire as the tire noise was getting more day by day, I am using my Sedan car for my daily drive from Dubai (Home) to Abu Dhabi (Office), so I am little bit more concern on the tire noise and road handling, I heard that General Tires are good (German Technology) price is cheap also or otherwise I will might consider Hankook Optimo which they said they were both quiet on the road and good grip on road handling as well.

Thanks, is it 50 pre mixed or 30 pre mixed?

Thanks for sharing this info Barry.

I took my Pajero last weekend in Habtoor Service center and they found out a leakage on my evaporator, and need to be replace. I will update you guys once I receive my pajero back and will let you know the AC cooling status.

Thank you Derick & Sidhan for your valued advise and comments, I really appreciate your help.

Thanks Derick for your reply. I asked ENOC to check my A/C system as per initial check they says, Gas is Okay, Compressor responding well, they cleaned the evaporator by blowing water but still it works same. What was that Nissan OEM coolant your using is that 30 pre mixed or 5o pre mixed (hope you still remember the coolant specs)?

Dear Mates, I need your expertise and experience regarding changing engine coolant, I observed that my airconditioning system cooling was not as same cold before when I was not changing the engine coolant. I just made the engine coolant change at one of the Petrol Station in Dubai and they used their own brand for it. Is it really necessary to use only Mitsubishi engine coolant or would you guys recommend some coolant brand that you use for your Pajero. Thanks
