Stumpy

@Frans Mthank you, I didn’t measure the solenoid, it appears to be engaging the solenoid correctly but just not turning the engine with the same power as normal. I did measure the battery voltage when cranking and it didn’t drop below 10.8 volts. i am pretty sure it’s the starter itself, as it’s my daily driver I have just ordered a starter 🤞 Will update this afternoon

Hi @Gaurav thank you that would be great if you had a number. I am pretty sure it’s the starter but would like to be sure before I get a new one.

What can go wrong has this week🥴 First a A/C high pressure line split, had a quote of close to 1300 to replace and recharge. Managed to buy the parts myself and do the whole job for about 400 including a trip to the service station for a charge. then the steering rack has packed it in, rattling like crazy, and today the starter motor gave up the ghost 🤬I think. has anyone had to replace a starter in a Pajero? What were the symptoms? This is very slow to turn over especially when hot. Some times it won’t turn at all. It’s trying to turn but just doesn’t seam to have the power. I have run a jumper lead from the battery to the block and tested the battery. Have also used a jump pack but still the same. removed the starter and tested it, does seam a little slow and rattly but I don’t know what these are like normally. (Shocked at how small it is) Disassembled and had a look, gave it a clean, the the brushes and the commutator seams ok. Bit of gunk but bearings and reduction gears are all free. not sure, a new one is about 1300dhs so want to be sure before shelling that out. any advice

@Gary F well the trip to ARB wasn’t that successful, they admitted the hoses are defective and there is a new style but apparently the hose isn’t covered by warranty 🤬 said they can send it to arb in AD for repair 😂. A slight disagreement occurred with the manager and they eventually replaced it but only with another of the same. If I wanted to upgrade to the new style for a discounted price of 420dhs I was welcome. Needless to say I can get proper rated air hose for a lot less than that and swap the fittings over. Might save you a trip, just cut the hose and reattach the fitting. 👍

Watch the 🐪

Good morning, just checking we are in the right place?, at the pin drop point but only 4 cars here

Thank you, see you this afternoon

Morning, probably a bit late to join but I have added my self to the waitlist just in case. nathan ps, looks like a Jeep drive so I thought you might need something to practice recovery’s with 😂

Used this stuff, probably better out there but it seams to do a good job, have used two boxes for the SWB. Probably need another half box to finish the rear 1/4 panels.
