    Novice seeking recommendations - driver training, insurance

    I have been to Artarmon Automotive and Eddie is a really honest guy. They do get busy so bookings may need to be 2 weeks in advance at the moment but I think most mechanics are like this currently. He is very experienced with Mitsubishi's, but best to give him a call and speak to him yourself to...

    Changes to McBrides Beach access

    I did read they are taking into consideration the usage post building of the walkway so there is a possibility of the track being closed still. I went down here as a kid in a standard pajero and it was still pretty challenging back then when they were maintaining the track, but in the event of a...

    Pajero NM 3.5L V6 difficulty shifting & going into gear

    Just a quick update, had the car checked out and they couldnt really find any issues, after getting it back it seems like its far easier to get into gear, so most likely after all the sitting the slave and master cylinder were starting to give way and replacing them has fixed the issue...

    What is it worth OMG

    I watched the recovery and my thoughts were they should have recovered off the other point on the other side of the vehicle when they did it? Or am I getting that part wrong? It just seemed like pulling off the point just lifted the front higher which caused it to tip? Probably the better...

    Pajero NM 3.5L V6 difficulty shifting & going into gear

    Will do, it's with a clutch specialist to properly diagnose today. We'll see what he can come up with, he is bloody grumpy though and wasn't happy I went and changed the slave and master myself. Bloody hard for find a decent mechanic these days honestly it makes me want to buy a brand new car haha.

    Pajero NM 3.5L V6 difficulty shifting & going into gear

    Spoke to my mechanic and he said they put in 75/85 penrite. I may drop that and change it for the Castrol youve mentioned but I can't see that making a huge difference and a bit of a waste of $$$ ?

    Pajero NM 3.5L V6 difficulty shifting & going into gear

    US ? Sorry mate what does that stand for? I've got it booked in now with a clutch specialist on Monday, and I'm changing out the master cylinder today as well, if changing the MC doesn't fix the problem then i'll leave it up to them to find out what the problem is I guess. Also can confirm my...

    Pajero NM 3.5L V6 difficulty shifting & going into gear

    Thanks mate, I have changed the slave and will be changing the master tomorrow so we'll see if that helps at all. It seems the "moment of magic" where the gears shift easily was achieved without my foot on the brake, when driving its not too bad either. It just doesnt feel like a syncro issue...

    Total noob, help me pick a off road vehicle

    The Nx Pajero is a great value for money option as well. I'm in the same boat as you currently researching before purchasing and even though the Mrs wants a brand new car she also doesn't want to spend a heap of money straight off the bat. End of life models like the Pajero are great because any...

    Total noob, help me pick a off road vehicle

    Just getting your thread back on topic mate sorry for causing the hijack about D4 wheels An MUX might also suit your needs and definitely fits your budget, they have a lower payload than the DMAX but pedders make a GVM upgrade kit. Not the flashiest car but will do everything you want it to...

    Total noob, help me pick a off road vehicle

    Which part? D4 comes with 18's and D3 comes with 17's, 16's that clear the brakes are harder to come by than normal rims same issue as with a Pajero if you wanted to go down in tyre sizes, just something to point out that might not be considered but I think from OP's responses probably won't be...

    Total noob, help me pick a off road vehicle

    When I was a kid we had a Pajero that only got moved on due to excessive rust, it'd done well over 350000kms by that stage, my parents upgrade to a v8 disco and it had nothing but problems. The main issue with LR's is people don't know how to diagnose and fix them properly, in saying that, you'd...

    How much do your accessories weigh?

    Looking online I think custom off-road have the best range and most affordable too for most models, they also put the full weights up on their website so I will definitely be going with a set of their protection regardless of the car I choose (I think I left bashplates off my original list)
