Hello all, I hope everyone is safe and sound. I'm a Pajero fan, I live in Oman. I recently bought a 2000 Pajero iO 1.8L. Its an absolute blast, but I purchased it with a few issues which are troubling me. I was hoping someone could shed some light, or direct me to an experienced technician familiar with this car. Sorry to bother. So as mentioned, it is a 2000 Pajero iO 1.8L 4cyl, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. First issue is the overdrive does not engage. When I am driving 100kph on the highway, my rpm is at 4000. I don't think this is normal at all, though I could be wrong. Also, it accelerates very slowly from 0 till about 60kph, and it seems as though the first and or second gear is not engaging, and the car is starting from gear 3. Overdrive relay cannot be heard when I click the button on and off. Second issue, the 4wd light on the dash, the mistubishi super select light, the rear wheels flash in 2H position. When I engage 4H position, the front wheels lights come on and stay solid, but no rear wheel lights. When I engage 4H and 4L lock positions, front wheel light are on solid, center diff lock light is on solid, but rear wheel lights are not present. I have tested the 4wd and confirmed that it works, I stuck myself in thick mud near the water and got out with 4H lock. Its a really strong little car, it does not get stuck anywhere, and when it does I lock the center diff, keep the wheels straight and get out every single time. It hurts me that im unable to drive comfortable on the highway. I have looked up a few pajero specialists in UAE, but coming from Oman, I have clue how to verify their authenticity and expertise. If anyone can help, please do. Truly appreciate your time. Thank you so much.
