  1. When starting the '99 Pajero in the mornings, i sometimes hear a slight hissing noise coming from behind the brake pedal. As soon as i touch the brake pedal slightly (barely a millimeter) the noise stops, and sometimes comes back after a minute. Eventually it disappears. Car brakes fine and pedal does not feel spongy or too hard. Could this be the brake booster diaphragm or leaky vacuum line ? Is it something that needs urgent attention or could i schedule an inspection with my next PM (in 3000kms) ? Thanks !
  2. On most of these foglights, the ground (-) is connected to a metal part of the foglight frame. So this could be a ground issue. Check if the foglight is properly mounted. Oh and if it's halogen i hope you did not replace the bulb with your bare hands ? If so then i would burn up immediately or very soon. Always use gloves or paper towel when plugging in a halogen type of bulb.
  3. Thanks guys I’ll play with both central and rear diff lock the next coming weeks and do some trials to see if both work properly. I’ll jack up the rear and see if both wheels rotate together.
  4. Good you mentioned. I repaired it last week and i activated the rear diff lock but didn’t manage to get out and didn’t try for too long cuz @skumar83 was sweeping fast 😀
  5. After doing the relaxing newbie drives, I was after a bit more adrenaline and i clearly got what i asked for. Gaurav took us on an adventurous trip combining all key components of what fewbie level and up is all about: crisscrossing, side sloping, getting crested and recovered, redlining the car and squeezing to find that last little horse power in the engine. As I mentioned last night this drive kept me so busy mentally that half of the time I was not looking in my back mirrors for the car behind me. Definitely something I learned again is to keep enough distance between the cars at this higher pace but ALWAYS keep an eye on your buddy behind you (thanks Gaurav). Some of us got crested, myself included, but ALL kept a positive attitude, remained calm, and listened to our senior members and that is essential to the whole drive. Respect and thanks to everyone and looking forward to the next one !
  6. Camping plans postponed to next week. Count me in 🙏🤪
  7. Cool. Imagine arriving at the RTA with that one
  8. Hi Hossein, Yes above option should definitely work. Any local car workshop can easily do this in about 40 minutes.You can maybe show them the diagram, or do it yourself if you're a bit handy with wiring and soldering.
  9. Dear Sajith, 1) Be careful when you source a two way radio at Dragonmart, i have seen lots of fake models that look very similar but logo is slightly different or some functions are not working. In any case it needs to be a UHF model with MANUAL frequency setting option. I went for the Crony 888 in a shop called Fujian which is located in the middle aisle. Both Motorola and Crony are working fine. You'll find that the Baofeng UV-5R are also popular nowadays, there is lots of information available on Youtube about them, but i think the Motorola i still the most reliable one in terms of range and battery life (correct me if i am wrong). 2) Post-offroad: I think this is a very good question you brought up. Yes, i think considering that the sand gets everywhere it would make sense to properly rinse off the bottom of the car after every drive. Some of the sand we come across really sticks as soon as it gets a bit wet and dries up. 3) In the EB section you'll need to browse around a bit. If i am not mistaken you'll see a shop that sells all these LED Offroad lights on the left side. Go across the other side through the narrow passageway. There is a shop that sells bicycles and kids quads. They have the flags. Welcome to Carnity !
  10. On more recent cars the fuses are now smaller, so inserting the male spade becomes a bit difficult. You can take a spare or new fuse, break it open, and use these spades to solder your wires on.
