Unfortunately I have no good news.
The alarm is designed to stop people driving the car as the brake system may fail. If it loses the power assistance, the pedal will become very heavy and you may not be able to stop the car.

The ABS can cause a bit of minor pulsing, but nothing like you describe. I've had 6 auto Pajeros & never had that issue.
It is definately faulty and quite probably dangerous - I wouldn't be driving it - your insurance...Leave a comment:

Frustrating!
Unfortunately these reasons are exactly why I think your resale will suffer even more with the fault - the buyer faces the same unknowns.
Do the alarms sound all the time or only under certain conditions? Is there...Leave a comment:

Sounds like the HBB or accumulator - plenty on here about it - worth a read.
Your market will be quite limited with all the warnings going off, particularly private buyers. I think you will lose more (time & money) by not fixing it.Leave a comment:

True, but it is by far the most "car like" & "Pajero like" of the dual cabs I have experienced. I wish the Pajero had that V6, as it would be great with that!
I would investigate it further, unless that is a real...Leave a comment:

Most of the utes sold here do not have the centre diff to allow the use of 4WD/AWD on hard surfaces, like Super Select. I had 2 ML Tritons - only the second had Super Select & it transformed the car to the point where I wouldn't buy a ute without...Leave a comment:

It would help if you could outline how the ute will be used & what you expect from it.
Also consider used prices are very high now and sometimes a new vehicle isn't much more expensive - you just have to order it 6 to 12 months before...Leave a comment:

I have the same size larger battery Keithyv.
I simply cut the end off the plastic box/tray (the end that already has a hole in it). The larger battery then sits fine & still has most of the heat shield.Leave a comment:

It should be attended to.
.When it is squeaking, squirt a bit of water at the belts to see if it changes the noise.
If it does, try some proper "belt lube" or try new belts.Leave a comment:

I wonder if it was really overheating, or whether the gauge was telling lies? Read up on the resistor "dry joint" fault in the temp gauge circuit (plenty on here about it). If it suddenly shoots up to the red faster than you would expect it...Leave a comment:

Did the "service centre" do any work on the tappets, valves, auto trans, etc., or just oil change, etc?...Leave a comment:

Err, yes, I did get my geography a bit off, but I imagine it still lives up to it's name?
Unfortunately these modern engines can't have a "gas producer" added like they did way back! Perhaps buy an old car & hang the gas producer...Leave a comment:

The handbook has a specific mention on this, only B5 I think? I'm sure the MMAL/MMC engineers would have considered what it could tolerate reliably without causing issues.
The cold part of the hills where you are may not help either, as...Leave a comment:

I suspect the rego is a mistake. I think the car's placard would take precedent.
Does it have the brackets & seatbelts in the car for the 3rd row?Leave a comment:

Provided you report the issue to them and get written proof of your report from them before the warranty expires, it shouldn't matter if they don't look at it until after the warranty expires, but time is of the essence, so go and see them now and give...Leave a comment:

I've had 6 Gen 4 Pajeros and they have all read fast by at least 5%, with some perhaps 8%, so this is normal.
I don't even look at the speedo. I run a Garmin GPS in the right hand lower corner of the windscreen, as it is much easier to see...Leave a comment:

Most unsatisfactory - clearly a defect under there (unless it has been damaged & repaired). I suspect it will look very bad when the plastic is removed.
Are you the original owner?
Is it still under warranty? Even if just...Leave a comment:

Unsure if it would cause this particular issue, but when was the fluid last changed (these autos don't like old fluid)?Leave a comment:

The trans fluid in these cars is specified to be changed at about 90k for towing/severe use & about 180k for "normal use". I would never run it that long anyway.
Does the service book have any entries on the separate pages...Leave a comment:

Does the car look to have done a lot of heavy towing or other "severe use"?
Do you have the service history?
Has it ever had the auto fluid changed?Leave a comment:
