Hi Greg,
So are you saying that you have had an uncommanded activation of the park brake whilst at speed?
Or;
Have you just had the park brake fail to release?

So when you say an "uncommanded application" are you worried abot the park brake applying itself whilst driving?

Ok, all good.
If you drive up and incline at say 40kph and in manually selected 2nd gear can you make the knock happen?
If so have you tried applying the hand brake gradually when the knocking is happening whist still keeping the vehicle...Leave a comment:

Hi GGG,
Below is a list of fault codes.
What codes are you reading?
I reackon once we have the codes we have a better chance of either solving the problem or bypassing the system safely.
The park brake is also the emergency...Leave a comment:

To check properly you need to be able to get both hands around the top part of the shocker and give it a hard wobble. When we found Pajero 12’s lose there was no indication just by looking.

Hi Stu,
Steering geometry is a not that straight forward, excuse the pun.
When to steering rack is in the centre position both wheels are pointing straight ahead but as the steering is moved off centre then the steering angle of the...Leave a comment:

I was chasing a problem with "Pajero 12" on his NW, knock, knock, knock and then nothing, problem seemed to come and go.
Eventually we traced it down to a loose rear shocker top mount, we could only confirm this by jacking the rear suspension,...Leave a comment:

In a hurry? Not me Jason!
I still use a 1990 vintage twin cylinder compressor that takes about 8 minutes to get my LT235/85R16's from 12psi to 30psi.
If I am away with either Pajero 12 or NJswb they pump up 3 of my tyres with their ARB single...Leave a comment:

Which Open Country?
It is not only the aggressiveness of the tread you need to consider but also the load index.
If you are going to travel or tow heavy or leave the bitumen the an XL load index tyre should be a minimum.

Well I feel much better that 2 learned electrical engineers have have checked my mechanical engineering calculations.
Thanks KB & NJ.

The Cooper Zeon LTZ PRO in a 285/60R18XL 116 load index requires a minium of an 8' wide rim, the factory alloys are only 7.5" wide.
Are you intending to change rims, if so what rims and what is the offset?
If changing rims, it...Leave a comment:

So what basis or formula did you use to calculate the volume inside a tyre?
I have tried 2 different methods and both are resulting in between 75 litres and 86 litres.
The calculation is just rough because the shape of the cross section of...Leave a comment:

I found an online calculator for calculating the volume of a donut shape vessel, known as a Torus, and to my surprise the volume of air insde a 265/70R17 tyre is about 75 litres!

On my auto PB Challenger i would get a constant build up of pad material on the front discs causing pedal pulsing under brake application, I would burn this off with regular very hard brake applications.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for reporting back, it really does help others if they have a similar problem. I assume the $300 is supply and fit.
Here is the link to the offset bushes that others have used and the difficulties they have had fitting...Leave a comment:

Why not just use a truck air tank, available secondhand from wreakers very cheaply and in a range of sizes, they already have all the threaded fittings welded in and are pressure rated and tested. Even a new 9.5lt tank is only $100.
