Thank you @sertac , @Gauravand @skumar83 for your input. I have heard and read in some other forum on this site that cost of changing timing belt and other stuff shouldn't exceed 1.5k-2K. Is that so? Also, there is a forum of Pajero owners in CapeTown who have some experts to reduce dashboard noise by the installation of metal support brackets through dismounting the audio system and some other parts of dashboard. As per the members of the forum there, it reduces the dashboard noise largely.

@GauravI seek your advice on this Sound insulation sheet; where can I get it from and how to install it on front passenger side floor to reduce engine noise?

Dear Friends, This is my first post here; I was glad to see such a platform wherein we can discuss automobiles and seek recommendations. I bought one Pajero 2012 GOLD color last October, with zero accidents on it till now Alhamdolillah; I seek recommendations on following: 1. Car Dashboard and Backside (may be rear door) makes noise on slight rough service roads and YELLOW road straps (which are more thicker now in Dubai). Otherwise, there is near-to-nil noise on plain roads. 2. Car has done 98K ODO. Should I change the timing belt now, or take it upto 120K (as I read some other friends posting here) in next 2 years as I don't drive it too much? If this is to be replaced, what other major items to be changed and how much will it cost me overall? Any good place in Sharjah or Dubai wherein I can get it fixed. I was told by a garage in Shj (who worked on my past car Corolla, Accord etc repairs for last 5 years) that Timing Belt and other good-to-be-replaced-with-TimingBelt stuff will cost around 3K. 3. There is a steering wheel grinding noise whenever I turn it any side. Otherwise, it moves smooth. How to get it fixed and in what cost?

@vishlad702, Please share your experience of changing the belt through Mr. Mohsen (referred to by Barry). I would like to know where is the location, how much did it cost and what parts are included in the replacement deal?
