guys, If anyone is WL-ed for this drive please take my place. Sports injury this week. Need to rest up. Am leaving this event. All the best and enjoy the drive 🏜 🚙 👍 -
@Wrangeld this would really only be my second drive of the season and I hope you'll agree, it seems pretty intense for someone who may be a bit rusty and hasn't fully tested his car in previous months. Therefore I will bow out and wait for an opportunity to do a few drives and build up (stamina and concentration) to a biggie like this in the furure. It does sound incredible and I wish you all the very best of luck, looks like a very strong convoy. Mac

Pajero mechanic recommendation
andy_macdxb replied to andy_macdxb's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
"Really poor service" would be an upgrade from the usual service I've encountered over the past 20 yrs... Thanks tho, always appreciated 👍 -
Hey Ho! On a drive a while back Vanessa recommended a workshop in Al Quoz (I think) that was a popular choice for Pajero fixing. The head mechanic had been at Habtoor for years I think. Can anyone share a name, I need some engine fixing. Stupid problem. Let the guys at grand lube talk me into using an engine cleaner and since then, the engine have had very low revs when idle or slowing to stop and often stalls altogether. Is this a problem anyone else has encountered... Model 2008.. Thanking in advance, Mac
-
Wrangled et al, sincere apologies, thanks for getting me on the list, but my engine is revving all over the place today. She's gonna need to see a doctor before she goes into a desert. Sorry, hoping you can replace me with the next in line. 🙏 Again. Mac
-
Ditto pls, if there's a chance to WL for 1st drive, always appreciated 👍
-
Ha! Exactly! I feel now, I need to know, what is a solanoid...
-
Perfect, thanks. Yeah, it resets 👍
-
Hey All, I set off on general 'black top' trips with the car on the green 2 rear wheel mode (model 2008) I drive about 30 km and the green rear wheel indicator switches to the orange central diff lock. The drive doesn't seem to be altered, therefore, just guessing a glitch. Is this a common fix, like a reset or something, or is it more serious (hoping not), sure some of you have encountered similar... Thanking in advance, Andy
-
Hi Ale, apologies for late reply, have had a busy day. I see I am not included in the convoy, that's fine, I would have problems getting up to RAK tomorrow. Thanks for the thought tho, as always. Enjoy your drive guys
-
If there's an option to WL 4. Thanks, Andy
-
Has anyone ever seen a Pajero Evo in Dubai. Produced (1997-1999). I only just found out about them today. They look pretty cool.

Any advice, Mitz website recommends light blue, but I've never seen this anywhere. Any color/brand that can be recommended. Thanks as always,

Replacement battery recommendation
andy_macdxb replied to andy_macdxb's topic in Mitsubishi Pajero Forum in UAE
Cool, thanks guys. -
Needing to replace battery. Is there a Mitz recommendation or does anything go? Model 2008 GLS. Thanks 👍

Vanessa, thank you for leading, Tomas and Muhammad, thank you for your support. A lovely drive, definitely a new sub Carnity category, f'newbie. Not too many stucks or refusals, so things all moved nicely along. Following on from the briefing chat, I drove half in H and half in Hlc, didn't notice too much difference, but I think Hlc just edged it as far vehicle responsiveness was concerned, although, the sand did change quite a bit from start to finish. Thanks again to all, and great to meet some new faces. 👍

Hi All, if anyone selling an XK8 in decent driving and cosmetic condition. Pls contact, am interested to buy. Thanks, Andy 0504658200

Hey Ale and all others, love the sound of the drive, but I must withdraw as will be out of country on a last minute getaway. Have fun and I will definitely check the debrief to see where you desertnuts end up. Have fun 👍 and drive safe-ish.
-
Ale, thanks for the drive, really enjoyed. Was wondering, but during the drive you drove into a pocket that surprised you, ie you didn't expect it. I've also seen the same in other drives with different leads. Was wondering tho, what advice do you give, if you drive into a 'surprise' pocket, do you quickly accelerate out or stop to evaluate. I guess it depends on the pocket's size, but is there a best option. I would just panic, I think, which would be useless.

Rahimdad, pls offer my wait list place to another driver. I have gout and can't really drive so comfortably. Sorry to be a drop out, hoping the place will be filled soon, sure it will. Rgds & safe driving to all, Andy
-
Please be so kind as to wait list me, nos. 1 for this drive. Thanks, Andy

Took longer to navigate out of Qudra Lakes than we did on the drive. 🤪 Super drive route. Really started getting a good feel for the Pajero and its capabilities on a more demanding drive. Thanks Lorenzo and all.
