I am sure you will all enjoy. @Ishak @Imran Asghar With a bit of luck we can all meet at the Foxes Den around 10AM and take a massive group photo. Let's see how it goes. See you all tomorrow at 8AM, or even better at 7.45AM so you have time to deflate, set up your flag, and then we can do the briefing and head out by 8.15 latest.

Well done @Eddie-Dune-Glider! Keep gliding those dunes

Congrats @Infaz!

Well done @Hartzel!!

Hi @celoalvarado! The overheating issue mentioned in this post above is related to the transmission overheating, while yours looks like the engine is overheating. This should definitely not happen on a Pajero. You have approached it correctly by replacing the radiator, fan clutch, and thermostat. Another possibility could be perhaps the water pump that is not circulating the coolant properly. I don't think a bigger transmission cooler or aux fan will help here. There seems to be a different reason why your engine is overheating. I you changed the thermostat and radiator recently, are you sure there is no air left in the system? You can check in this way: 1. Start with engine cold → remove radiator cap 2. Fill coolant to the top of the radiator. 3. Start engine with radiator cap off. 4. Let it idle and watch for: -Air bubbles coming out -Coolant level dropping Once: Bubbles stop Engine reaches operating temp Coolant level stabilizes 5.Then put the cap back on securely.

Congrats @Chema!!

Thanks again for all who joined our little city escape drive, and to @J-P L, @ChrisW, @Aser for the support. A special mention as well to @Amr A for bringing along two newbies with him 😁 who both drove perfectly. The weather was simply bliss, with a beautiful blue sky, some puffy white clouds, and a bit of wind. It doesn't get much better than this. The sand was extremely forgiving, but having such a great convoy and support behind my back made it even better. Without much trouble we made our way from Murquab to the Solar Tower, which was shining brightly at us. After a short break i wanted to explore the small but clean dunes just north of the Solar Tower. These dunes are smaller and more technical but we sailed through it without breaking a sweat. I was happy to see @Raptor Runner - Praveen being crested as finally we had something to do We made our way further Northwest towards the famous Three Trees at Al Qudra where we exited. All in all a good 45kms (see the track below): Wikiloc | DXB-Murquab to Qudra Solar Trail See you all in the sands soon again!

Good morning all! @Amr A@Amer Alsabbagh@Ghali Awa@Tej@ChrisW@Amr Morsy@Sam76@Raptor Runner - Praveen@Hartzel@Chema@Alex M@Noufal@Ana@Aser Thanks for signing up! Taking into account the weather conditions and geopolitical situation, there are some points i wanted to highlight: 1. I moved the starting time from 7AM to 8AM. This should make it easier to reach in time considering the potential bad condition of the roads. But please try to arrive by 7.45AM so you still have time left to deflate a bit and set up your flag. 2. If you have received public alerts throughout the night and did not sleep well, better to cancel from your side. There will always be another drive. Look after your own safety and your family first. 3. Deflation parameters will be different. Upon arrival i would recommend only to deflate to 16-18psi. The sand will be very compacted due to the rains. If needed we can always adjust during the drive. 4. Obviously this will not be a dune-bashing style of drive. The hard sand will feel totally different to drive on. Let's just aim at exploring the terrain, taking the occasional break with a hot coffee, and socialize a bit. Let's make it relaxing. 5. We will be using Channel 10. Which is 446.231Mhz on our walkie talkies. 6. Better bring some warm clothes and a jacket. It will be chilly in the morning Stay safe in the meantime and i hope to see you all in the morning!
