Hello guys, nice to have found this forum although I live in lebanon not australia, i seek out some advice and pointers on a couple of stuff, i recently purchased a 1988 3 door pajero (for 1500 USD)
First question what size engine do I have,its a petrol engine (dont laugh i am not a motorhead to guess it)
below is pic of car and engine
second question, it came without a spare tire from the previous owner so i am in need of a 6 bolt 15 inch rim and they are hard to find, pajero MK2 rims are more available do they fit mine? we have tacomas and fj cxruiser and other 6 bolt rim cars, do any of them fit mine??
third question engine and all mechanical parts are in good condition, except for the steering box(written on it is 'koyo japan') it leaks steering fluid , not much a couple of drops depending on the driving time, i have added maybe a quarter of a litre in a month, the part which is leaking is the bottom side of it where you can see the a vertical axle that comes out of it and rotates on its self, the steering wheel at first like there was a gap on both sides before you feel the wheel, we adjusted a sort of regulator screw located on the top of the steering box setting it to max and now the gap is barely noticeable and the steering became very live and communicative, I have heard that the pajero MK1 usually exhibits problems in the steering box, this part is very hard to find and will cost probably upwords of 100 USD for a second hand. Should I ignore the problem and just keep adding steering fluid as long as it drives ok ?
Thank you in advance.
