Got this in an email today, you boys might be able to set him straight. Not diff lock but trouble changing from 4h to 2wd etc. 2nd opinion always good.......
I am hoping that you are in a position to help me. My wife and I are from Australia but we came to Kenya 14 years ago to set up an orphanage for over 200 children. We live in Kenya full-time.
I imported had a 2002 model Pajero direct from Japan to Kenya. (V75W)
It is a 3.5 L GDI with a 6G 74 engine.
Unfortunately, the Kenyan mechanics do not know a lot about these vehicles. Hence the reason I am writing to you to see if either you or some of your members may be able to help me.
Let me try and describe what is happening.
As I am slowing down to a roundabout or a speed bump, there is a noise that comes from the left-hand front hub that is a winding down type noise. The slower you slow the vehicle the more you can hear the noise. When I almost stop you can hear this winding down noise more clearly, then upon stopping, there will be a click or a clunk, sounding like something just locked in or unlocked itself. When you take off the noise is the same but it is a winding up noise.
Someone told me that it sounds like the differential lock. He says, that when I am slowing down the differential lock is trying to lock in, and upon stopping it does lock in. Then powering on, it unlocks itself and then begins to wind up as the speed increases. But it does not stay for long as you get faster.
Could you please share this with your members to see if anyone has an idea of what may be happening. I am sorry to come to you for this, it's just that I cannot find any help anywhere.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regardsRalph Spinks
