Can we assume that Dino's "in the back" is axle load?
There is a big difference between 300kg extra rear axle load and 300kg towball load, the difference is about 150kg!
What part number rear coils are being fitted?

Much warmer, drier and easier to live out of than a tent or a canvas roof and walled camper, in those conditions.
What replacement camper is planned? Another Avan or similar folding design but bigger or something completely different?

You wouldn't want to be doing any serious off road driving with those plugs underslung like that.
The rear bumper is already a scoop off road so these plugs and wiring could be easily damaged.

Hi Rob,

I can see that both camshaft sprockets timing marks are not aligned with the timing marks on the back plates.
The timing marks on the camshaft sprockets about 4 or 5 teeth clockwise from where you currently have the timing...

Hi Atze,

If you have a read of the attached section of the Service Manual, you will see that when Engine fault codes occur, then the ECL illuminates, and in your situation you have ECL, ASC & TC warning lights ON.So the fault codes 12...

The throttle valve is moved by an electric servo motor, so did the mechanic move it to to open position and then disconnect it?

Looking at the problem again, we can rule steering angles out so that reduces it to 4.
I would have thought if the axles were contacting the strut body whist the wheels are turning then there would be witness marks on the axles also???

5 possible causes or a combination of all 5.
1. LCA bushes are worn, how many kms on the odometer? Have these been changed yet?
2. Wheel alignment is incorrect.
3. Steering angles are incorrect.
4. Front ride height too low, what...

Suggest you just use distilled water instead of coolant whilst you are sorting through the issues, this will also help flush the system over a longer period and will not cause any issue unless you are in an area where the overnight temperatures are dropping...

Sensor test are inconsistent, so either test again or replace the sensor. Generic should be fine but I would test it before installing it.

I have a vague memory that the same DTC codes numbers are used for a range of different faults for different systems and the system that is effected is nominated by the warning light illuminated on the dash.
I thought that when the fault was an...

I doubt that they will fit or be legal.
A 33 x 12.5 tyre is 61mm taller and 53mm wider than the largest factory tyre.
Engine, gearbox, transfer case, diffs, axles, wheel bearings, steering components, suspension and brakes will put under...

ATF condition looks ok but the level needs to be checked when the ATF is hot and when the engine is running, as per the instructions in the Owners Manual.

Next I would be checking that the selector/inhibit switch on the side of the gearbox...

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I cannot answer your question re injector coding but here is a link to the Denso Fuel Injection Manual that covers the 4D56 engine so this may be of assistance.

Looking at the Service and Technical Manuals online.

It appears that the engine coolant sensor is on top of the thermostat housing near where the...

First thing to check is if the engine coolant temperature sensor is working correctly. You may noy have an overheating problem at all.
Have you checked the actual coolant temperature and compared it with the gauge reading?

Disconnect...

Please confirm that the auto has an ATF dipstick, if so it is a Jatco V5A5A and then we can provide some details of what to check next.

It will not only be the overall tyre diameter that will cause you a problem but also the tyre width.
What size tyres and rims are you thinking about fitting?

According to the info below you are limited to a 5% increase if you want...

I recently read that Adblue shelf life is reduced to as little as 6 months if stored below -5C or above 25C. Not sure what the issues are if the Adblue is “aged” or if there is any way of testing it?

Hi Rizzly,

Most Gen 2 Pajero’s came with either 15” X 7” P0 rims fitted with 235/75R15 or 16” X 7” P10 rims fitted with 265/70R16.
What does the tyre placard indicate?
So 33” tyres and N44 rims are most likely illegal...
