Jeh

Need some help diagnosing a strange front-end noise on my 2020 Mitsubishi Pajero 3.8 GLS (approximately 100,000 km). Recent work completed: - Front shock absorbers replaced due to oil leakage. - Stabilizer bar bushes replaced. - Suspension inspected and wheel alignment completed. Current symptom: - Intermittently I hear a "grrrr" sound from the front of the vehicle, almost as if something is winding up or building tension. - After a few seconds there is a noticeable "THUD" or release. - When the thud occurs, the front portion of the vehicle can be felt shaking slightly. - The sound seems to originate from the front suspension/drivetrain area. - It is much more noticeable inside the cabin than outside the vehicle. - Steering, handling, acceleration and braking all feel normal. Very important observation: - The thud most commonly occurs when the vehicle is coming to a complete stop under braking. - Sometimes I hear the grrrr sound first, then after the vehicle settles or stops, the thud occurs. - The symptom is intermittent and does not happen every time. What has already been checked: - CV boots appear intact. - Steering rack boots appear intact. - Front shocks have been replaced. - Stabilizer bar bushes have been replaced. - Wheel alignment is within specification. Questions: 1. Has anyone experienced a similar "grrrr then thud" symptom on a Pajero? 2. Could this be caused by lower control arm bushes, steering rack mounts, brake caliper movement, engine/transmission mounts, or something else? 3. Since the noise often occurs during the final phase of braking, could suspension or driveline load transfer be contributing? 4. What specific components would you inspect next before replacing more parts? Any advice from Pajero owners or technicians would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Folks, I am searching for workshops/garages who do Rust Proofing and undercoating. This https://quickfitautos.com/car-repair-services/auto-body-shop-dubai/rust-proofing/ quoted 1350AED for Pajero. Any other shops where i can get it cheaper or is this a standard price ? Thanks.

Does having this type of tyre change level of comfort whilst driving city roads? is there any difference felt as compared to stock. ?

Hey fellow Pajero enthusiasts! I've been keeping a keen eye on my Pajero's (2020 model - Brand new) fuel efficiency lately and thought I'd reach out for your insights. I've tracked all my fuel tank fill-ups using an app and have compiled some statistics. (I’ve attached the data here for reference.) I'm curious to know how my Pajero's mileage stacks up against yours. Do you think the numbers I'm seeing are on par, or is there room for improvement? I'm all ears for any tips or tricks you might have to boost fuel efficiency. Maybe there are some maintenance tips or driving habits that could help me out?

Thanks @sertac I wish i could if i had enough parking space and fuloos 😅.. More than increasing its value as a classic I would rather wish that i had the funds and sources to convert this into a EV. That trend is catching up now and lot of RR classics are getting converted in some countries. It would be a damn pleasure to get this beast connected.

Hi All, Planning to sell my beloved RR after a steady relationship of 9 years. Have driven daily for office commute and weekends in wadis and mountains in winter. Never been a fan of off-roading in desert hence never tested those wheels in sand. All major faults fixed over a period of time. AC and 4x4 working fine and passing done with RTA few days ago. If anyone interested in taking over this legend please let me know. Priced at 10k. Cheers.

@Asif Hussain @Gaurav Thanks for all the help.

@andy_macdxb I would really not recommend Al Nakhala above in sharjah. I used to take my 1999 P38 RR to him and was tricked into paying more than required sometimes. I would highly recommend Al Ranan Garage in the same industrial area. The mechanic's name is Mubashir. He is well versed with Land Rovers. Have been using his service for years now.

Thanks! but not really helpful.. aware of musaffah area also the list above. However its a breakdown in the middle of the road, Was expecting some known reliable garage in musaffah area to take the car to quickly.. Surprising to see no response regarding Abu Dhabi garages here..

Pajero breakdown. Battery drained. Possible alternator failure. Need to know any reliable garage nearby. Am stuck in abu corniche area. Next to Abu Dhbai Chamber building.

Both will be fined. LOL.
