  1. There should be a rubber grommet that leads to your glove compartment. But i have another question for you: - Will this be the only lights you will add ? or do you plan to have more in the future ? The reason is this, i recently came across the Auxbeam switch panel and must say although it is not super cheap, i was extremely impressed with how easy it was to install multiple lights or other external items. Have a look here: Auxbeam 8 Gang Switch Panel, Universal Circuit Control Relay System Box with Automatic Dimmable On-Off LED Switch Pod Touch Switch Box for Car Pickup Truck Jeep Boat UTV SUV, BA80 Blue 2 Year Warranty : Amazon.ae: Automotive So far i have always done my own installs by buying the relays, wiring, fuses, etc.. but even though i do my best, after a couple of years, and a lot of heat and sand, those wires became brittle, and the relays started to fail. The fact that this is a one-stop solution with IP65 rating really could be a life-saver. Installation over the weekend with a helper and a good beer
  2. @AliArshad this is a very common and known (minor) issue. If the Pajero senses that the front wheels are not disengaged, it will throw this blinking light to notify you. As a first thing what you can do is go underneath the car where you will find the vacuum actuator looking like this: Verify if the vacuum hoses are not loose or broken off. This is the first thing you can check before taking it to any mechanic. If the hoses are intact, look for the below mentioned common reasons: Most common reasons: 1. Vacuum solenoids are stuck or defective. Around 250dhs in Habtoor and can be easily replaced yourselves. They are located next to the air filter box. Most mechanics who have worked on Pajeros can do this in 10mins. 2. Front differential sensor defective. Not so very common but easy to replace. 3.Stuck vacuum actuator: We are not allowed to advertise workshops here as we want to keep the forum bias-free. I would recommend to approach your nearest car mechanic and discuss with him if he has experience with this issue. As you can see this is an easy fix and won't cost you much.
  3. Good thing you removed it…. It’s called a hack for a reason and was never a suitable option. Unless you like driving around with CEL on 😅
  4. How many miles has your Landcruiser done ? Wheel bearings usually last 200k at least, but of course it depends how it was used before.
  5. Hi Brette, I prefer not to get those things sorted in Al Quoz, I head out to Sharjah (google "BMW ROAD SHARJAH") which is the S115 on both sides. and drive around the various shops where you see people doing welding and fabrication. Show them the part, haggle a bit, have some karak while waiting, and while browsing around the area you might find other gems like hardware shops and offroad modification shops 😃
  6. You mention that the front tyres had reduced thread from the inside. This is usually the result from a wrong wheel alignment causing the tyres to wear unevenly. If you have gotten a wheel alignment done by now, that should help, but the i would surely recommend it and make SURE to use a decent shop that uses their laser alignment system and takes their time to do a proper job. I have tried many different tyre shops in the past and only 1-2 of them did a really decent job. From a realistic point of view, the vehicle is 10 years old now and there will be small issues popping up which might be very hard to pinpoint. The Landcruiser is an amazing 4x4 but there might be some bushings or a wheel bearing slightly affected and it might cost you quite a bit to get rid of the issue with trial and error.
  7. Thank you so much @Gauravthere is no way i would have been able to pull this off without the whole Carnity family behind me. I say family because we lift each other and become a better version of ourselves when spending time with likeminded people in the sand.
  8. All was lost... the famous monkey smoked his last pipe and wondered what brought him there @munkybizness
