you can just use the tubing you can get from the hardware shop,or motor parts shop. What I found with mine that I retro-fit with 100% clear tubing is that it takes quite some time for the full length of tube to inflate,so I was thinking of using the copper line you would use for brakes for the...

Try topping up the fluid as said,or else the rubber in the brake fluid reservoir cap can get a bit deformed from time to time and cause the handbrake light to stay on

The last time I was out and about my superselect lights all stopped working,when previously they al worked,so I doubt it is all the bulbs blowing at once. The fuse is perfect because my O/D works. I think it must have been when I locked the rear diff for the 1st time in 4wd. I recently put in a...

A friend of mine had similar looking ones,they were a copy he got from ebay,they didn't really do much to deflect rain when driving,but they made a strange noise inside if the window was down a small bit(3-5 inches),it went away when it was open any more than that,sounded like plastic getting...

My opinion would be to go lower geared again,I just took the 4.636 axle out of the back of mine and swapped in a 4.875. There is a difference,but it isn't a huge one. I live pretty much at sea level and find that mine will drop a bit of speed going up long hill on the factory size tyres. It will...

See is the track bar the same as the uk spec shogun one,some of the later uk shoguns have a damper fitted,and have the bracket on the track bar. On the other side you will probably need to do a bit of fabrication to get it on,but it isn't the worst job in the world I guess. Rough country do a...

Is there a switch to lower your antenna to half way next to the steering column? It would look a bit like this TBH i'd get rid of the power antenna,it's only a pain and gets broken in no time at all

Yesterday she fired right up! The new engine is so much quieter,the old one used rattle a bit,and make ticking noises. The new one has more of a smooth hum when it revs up. After a few teething troubles such as the earth strap and the wire to the starter she fired up on the first turn of the...

Hopefully this time tomorrow I will be able to update this and say that my Pajero is running again with the new engine put in it. A few pics from along the way. I intended to take a load of pics but It moved fairly fast and before I knew it the engine is in! Swapping stuff over: For two...

Hi Dave!! :wings: about time you put a thread up here

My pajero is at my friends at the minute having some surgery,so i'll get some pictures when I can. Basically the torsion bars have splines on them,the splines slip into splined holes on the wishbones,and are anchored to the chassis on the other end of the bar. For the right hand side front one...

The autos are a much better transmission compared to the manual ones,the number of manual ones that break is crazy,and the shifting is a bit vague at best,like stirring coconuts in a bucket! They actually make the land rover ones seem good! I'm glad I went for the auto now,and i'm a firm...

You can re-index them in that case,rather than cranking them. For this you need to mark where the current splines are going into the wishbone,and turn it one spline,and crank them to the desired height,This will firm up the ride without adding height

Yeah it will fit,people run 10j modulars with a -32 offset. Only issue you might find is that the front edge of the tyre might touch the front bumper a small bit depending on your tyre size.

Thats what I wanted to hear! All I need is the pump with a pipe going into the axle? I'll have a locker very soon in that case! And i've not forgotten about getting prices of 5.29 gears,i've just been flat out busy with swapping the engine in mine.

I take it that the pressure cutoff is in the pump though? and not something inline on the axle side being fed back into the ECU. I'll be trying to avoid using the ECU so I can have a bit of freedom about when I can use the locker

I bought myself a 97 UK spec 3L v6 shogun a few weeks ago for not a lot of money,the idea of that was to swap the rear axle into my 2.8. My question is about the pump,If I wire it up to a switch via a relay,will it knock the pump off once the pressure reaches the desired level,or will it keep...

^^ I think he was paying you a compliment? :confused: I hope he was anyway,that one on the front of yours really detracted from the look of it,it looks a million times better without it

If the 4wd system hasn't been used for a while it gets a bit sticky,put it in 4h first,and go a few meters forward then a few meters backward,keep repeating this until the 2 green lights at the front come on Then put it to 4hlc and do the same again,you'll hear a click and the centre diff light...

Here is mine in a sorry state,got the engine out and we are swapping the pump,injectors,inlet manifold,exhaust manifold and turbo over. A real PITA to remove the engine from this. Got a cool picture on my phone though
