Hi JML, welcome to the forum.
I understand the desire for a Gen 2, they're a well-sorted & reliable design that, aside from the modern electric dohickery, has offroad performance that still stands up well against the modern... -
I don't really follow what you've posted, but let me post something anyway.
Pickle's Pajero has (amongst other acronyms) stability control (aka ASC) and traction control (aka TC, not to be confused with TC aka torque converter......Leave a comment:

So, those of you who have been paying attention may have recognised that it's that time of year - time for me to head to Victoria's High Country, and meet up with Pickle for a drink or 17.
I've been trying to give my Pajero a small...Leave a comment:

I'd say we can rule out drivetrain: diff, disconnecter, CVs. Your test results point towards something steering or suspension.
Check for play in steering rack ends, steering ball joints, even how the rack is mounted. Look for shiny metal...Leave a comment:

I checked my owner's manual for the oil specified by the manufacturer.
I read the info on the back of the bottle:
It's in my engine....Leave a comment:

OK, so the Aisin 8 speed in the Pajero Sport is sensitive to choice of fluid.
What about the 5 speed Aisin (V5AWF) in the Gen 4 Pajero? Is that transmission also sensitive to choice of fluid?...Leave a comment:

Yes.Leave a comment:

This is definitely true of the Jatco, but I'm not aware that this is an issue for the Aisin. I'm happy to be corrected....Leave a comment:

Not in Australia. Four speed, yes, but rear wheel drive, no. I have no idea why it would list R4A51 transmission.
However, yesterday was oil & filter change for my NT. While googling for prices, one of the major retailers (that asks...Leave a comment:

OK, now we're getting somewhere.
First, you don't need any DCDC charger, much less an expensive one. I say this as someone who owns one, and I don't "need one" to compensate for a smart alternator.
Power is power,...Leave a comment:

Use the aerostart to spray under the throttle body while cranking, see if that makes any kind of difference.Leave a comment:

Theoretically, but it's a horribly inefficient way to do it - step 12V up to 220V (a potentially deadly voltage, if you're unlucky), then bring it back down to some unknown voltage inside the battery charger, to then be chopped for charging the battery....Leave a comment:

Its not clear to me if the clunks come as you turn the wheel, or as your Challenger rolls slowly with a large amount of steering input.
If you were in a carpark doing low-speed circles with steering in a set position, would it clunk continuously,...Leave a comment:

Stay tuned.
The two survived the first day of suburban run-around, and they're off to the Victorian High Country on Monday. If they survive that trip, and I don't decide I dislike them, I might tweak the design a little - try...Leave a comment:

If it's humming but not starting, perhaps it's waiting for a key change?
Sorry. I couldn't help myself.
My guess is an air leak has developed - the humming / squeaking was early stages of a vacuum leak, and now there is too...Leave a comment:

V5A51: V = 4wd, 5 = 5 speed.
R4A51: R = rwd, 4 = 4 speed.
If your transmission is a 5 speed, you don't have the R4A51....Leave a comment:

I lost one of the caps for the new wheels, and most of them (new & mine) are missing paint - so I thought I'd have a crack at making something. I've now fitted two to one side of the Paj, I'll see if they're still there when I get...Leave a comment:

I'm back to ST Maxx, in 265/70 R17.
I bought a set of four tyres second-hand, with a set of 5 good wheels (one HT spare tyre). I bought them sight unseen, taking a gamble that wheels & tyres + freight still worked out at reasonable value....Leave a comment:

After 39k km I've retired these tyres. They were about 50% worn, so plenty of road-legal life in them, but I bought them to be chunky, aggressive, off-road tyres with plenty of rubber to keep the rocks away from the air inside - with so much rubber gone,...Leave a comment:
