@Junaid Sayeed welcome to Carnity Offroad Club and thanks for sharing your experience. Based on your experience and JJ's feedback you are welcome to join this weekend's Intermediate Drive. Based on the drive, the promotion to Intermediate would be done. See you on Friday.

A question, does a catalytic converter help reduce the noise? I thought the noise reduction was the job of the muffler.

Difflock while helpful in stucks is not a mandatory requirement for our kind of offroading. They become very important if you are doing rock crawling or in muddy terrains

Yes, it goes as per the waitlist. The option of fastest finger first is only available from 7:00 PM to 7:01 PM on Sunday.

Congrats @Shiju Manuel well driven and you manged your Pajero very well.

Congrats @asifk

Spark plugs can affect the throttle response greatly. Since its a new purchase its good to get all the spark plugs, ignition coils, air filters, Throttle body checked /cleaned / replaced as a first step. That should sort out most of the problems. How many km is the car driven?

especially if the debriefing point is Barracuda

@tcarrimjee added your name. See you on Friday

congrats @Hennie Schoeman seen you grow in confidence from the initial drives to your last drive as second lead. Well done.

congrats @Kailas.

congrats @Dagdag Sofiane

congrats @Miguel Ibarbia

Congrats @Ashok chaturvedi love you passion for the outdoors. The ride gets better from here. Drive safe.

Congrats @Kalahari love your sense of humor and contributions during the drives. Well done.

Hi @Sandyman85 yes they would be sufficient as you would be following the car in front of you with a closer distance than in a day drive.

Probably because 1) Classic plates are more expensive 2) I think there is a restriction on the amount of km it can be driven on the road each year

Congrats Doc, heard very good reviews of your driving skills. You seem to be doing the max number of drives amongst all of us each month and that has shown in the pace at which you have grown. Look forward to seeing you take up more responsibility within the club to help groom the next batch of offroaders.

Congrats @Vanessa8580. Your continuous support on all the drives and especially on the Newbie drives is something that we all and including the Newbies very much appreciate. Keep up the awesome work and we now look forward to you leading drives.

You could use boxes for all the small stuff. Bungee cord and web nets to ensure that all the other items like shovel, jack, compressor etc are tightly fitted and do not move. In your Pajero I believe there are 4 points on which you can attach the bungee cord hooks. This works reasonably well without much investment. For the radios I use the cup holders and they are deep enough to prevent the radio from falling off. Alternatively you can hang it around your neck, though I don't prefer that.

I would suggest to install the extra fan regardless of whether you drive on tiptronic or not, because as you keep pushing the car it will tend to overheat and repeated AT light means you will be cooking the oil much faster than normal. So you will have to replace it much faster as well.
