Yes when i was young i had the Cosworth poster as well, in Rothmans stickers (1986), but my dream was the Golf MK1 Karmann Ghia. Went to see one later on, but like most convertibles in Belgium the roof was leaking everywhere and it drove like a wheel barrow.

Following will need to match when buying aftermarket rims: * Bolt pattern: this is the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the centre of the bolt holes. PCD is measured in mm. 4x400 means the wheel has 4 bolt holes and and diameter of imaginary circle through these holes is 100mm. * Type of Rim: 7.5 x 17 means 7,5 inch width x 17 inch diameter. ET46 means a positive wheel offset of 46mm. Lower offset values will make the wheels stick out more. If buying secondhand be careful that the rims are not bent, and they should be balanced properly.

Hi @Tbone. Are you joining in on the drive tomorrow ? If so please RSVP on the link in Srikumar his drive post.

Hi Mahmoud, You can buy them from Dragon Mart. Following models are tried and tested: - Motorola MT777: are also sold now under the Crony Brand - Baofeng UV-5R - Prolab WT-5WDB1 Other model is fine too, but make sure it is a UHF model and you can set the frequency manually. We are at 462.8875Mhz and can help you with setup and programming of above models.

If the headliner fabric came loose from its foam core, then you could indeed use a kind of 3M adhesive spray, but i am afraid it might bleed through it as mentioned in below topic. This seems to be a common issue with the previous Accord models too: https://www.driveaccord.net/threads/whats-a-good-way-to-fix-a-sagging-headliner.39011/

Any idea about the root cause of the sagging ? If the car has a sunroof you might have had water leakage ? If the headliner is dry and in good shape, you should be apply to apply some sealant silicon (like TEC7) on the headliner and gently push it back in place. If it got wet, then i would definitely advise to get it replaced or you might start getting mold and funky smells.

Correct. These cars never get through inspection. They are being used on race tracks and exhibitions. Car inspection in Europe is extremely strict nowadays.

German cars enthusiasts are doing same as the JDM madness..

Did nobody noticed the absolute knobhead who was taking a selfie while Alonso was flying over the dune ? I have the impression that the spectators were basically forcing him to change direction, they were all in the way.

This guy probably has a contract with his tyre supplier. Weekly deliveries...

On the Pajero it can be completely switched off like this: 1) Switch off the engine, remove the key, open the engine bay, and locate the ABS relay, not the fuse because the fuse is very hard to pull out. The Relay is labeled below as B-17X (B). 2) Start the car, and push a few seconds on the ASC-button to disengage the Traction Control. 3) Go for a spin. You will likely see your ABS light flickering as crazy, but it won't engage or cut the power. I do this on my wife's 2008 Pajero and it works fine. Maybe on the younger pajeros this method is not necessary but i am not sure of that.

You’re welcome to join me buddy. I’ll be sweeping most probably.

I think the owner of this Pajero just bought this sticker in Dragon Mart 😅

Hi Vic, Welcome to Carnity ! To be honest, i have never heard of this edition. Only found this orange / red stickered LWB one on a Polish website. Are you sure it is available in GCC ? The Pajero can be easily modified to your wishes and budget.

Looks like the newest generation of diesel cars are actually « cleaning » the air: https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/europe/features/newest-diesel-engines-clean-air?a=SBL09&t[0]=Diesel&t[1]=Diesel ban&t[2]=Euro 6d TEMP&t[3]=particulate matter&t[4]=Air pollution&curl=1

Belgium: Petrol 95: 6.27 Aed Petrol 98: 6.53 Aed Diesel: 6.48 Aed

Aaah the good old Swedish tanks !!! Love them. They were indistructable !

I definitely would not go more than 300-400mm with ANY 4x4 or SUV.

The Scandinavians are way ahead on many fronts. They don’t boast about it but just carry on and keep making improvements for society, life, health, and safety.

Buying an additional smaller 4 cylinder car to save a bit on petrol. Both my Pajeros drink more than a Russian sailor. With my stupid passion for cars that removes common sense thinking that car won’t be a Tida or Yaris which would evidentially be the best option. Lets see what 2020 brings...

1999 BMW 318 Touring which i bought for 1400 euro. It had already 330.000kms on the clock but bought it and got engine replaced. Did another 120.000kms with it without any issues. oh and even cheaper was a ‘87 Range Rover Classic for 250 euros with the plan of restoring but after seeing the amount of work I sold it for 500 the next week.

Well done ! I will be doing the same with my 2008 Pajero soon !
