    WTB: Montero Headlight & Window Switches for MK1/Gen1

    Headlight Switch - Are you looking for the entire multi function switch cluster? MB543920 MB543921 without cruise, without headlamp washer. I don't think there are any new OEM or new aftermarket available any longer. Outside chance I might have a used one, but I can't check until late next...

    80 Series Maintenance costs?

    We were just discussing this at work today. $700 for a monthly payment (or more) what the heck! BTW - repos are up. Its not only wear out, but it is also the 4% of vehicles on the road each year that are in accidents that takes away from the original population. If you had 5,000 new in 1996...

    80 Series Maintenance costs?

    Value of Montero - I agree. I had my '05 for 12 years and a lot of miles maybe put 140K on it. Only did PMs to it, never had a problem. Being it was my daily, it was just time to move on and replaced it with a '14 Outlander. I'm shocked at how well I like it. Built in Gifu along side the...

    80 Series Maintenance costs?

    No matter what, all old cars die. NHTSA publishes generic estimates of "vehicles sold remaining in the field" For light trucks as of December 2021 - MY2000 - MY1998 the estimate is 17% and MY1995 - MY1997 that estimate is 12%. Various models fair better than others, but I wouldn't expect more...

    80 Series Maintenance costs?

    Always a challenge obtaining OE parts for a 25YO + vehicle with low production (or import) volumes. I'd guess fewer LC80s came to the USA than Monteros. And fewer yet Lexus branded if there are any different specialty parts. Found on IH8Mud: USA volume: 1991.......8,446........FJ80...

    Do we really need a spare?

    Lots of new cars do not include a spare, just a can of fix-a-flat.

    Anyone knows what this plug’s for in my 2.5Gen Montero?

    no idea on the plug, but my '92 had speakers there. My '93 just had the holes, and speakers in the doors. The '92 did not have door speakers.

    Lightning Flippers Beware! Ford May Not Let You Re-Sell Your Truck!

    Not surprising. I had mentioned to a few friends that had some of their features turned off after a few years of ownership (new cars) unless they ponied up monthly cash (like remote start), vehicles will become a subscription service. Pay full price for the first 5 years, then after 5 have to...

    Pajero/Montero NL Blister Fender gen 2.5 Shock Absorber discussion

    You can't gain more travel within the confines of the stock length control arms. If you have the ride height set +40mm you have trimmed the bump stops or are riding on them.
