Gday from WA

[Fletty]

hello all
Ive been lurking around on here for a while and thought id introduce myself. My name is Ryan and Im from the south coast of WA. I recently purchased a fairly stardard 2011 NT pajero with nearly 160 on the clock. Ive found this site pretty handy the guys on here seem to no there stuff which is useful for a first time pajero owner like me.
Cheers Ryan

Yes it is very nice down here this time of year. Gonna spend a few nights fish creek way in a coupla weeks to c if i can get used to 4x4 in the pajero. Gonna be a little different to the 80 series i had.

With the right tyre pressure and ASC (active stability control) turned off (the button near your left knee) the paj is awesome on sand. You'll love it once you get used to it. Welcome and enjoy your trip.

cheers I did a quick trip yesterday through some local tracks and beaches and it performed well. Had better clearance in the ruts than i thought it would have. I did get caught out in a couple of steep climbs that were rutted out, found the car performs alot better in sports mode. I did get a random beeping alarm go off wen in low range and giving it curry to get up said rutted out steep climbs. no lights or warnings up apart from the traction control light. Pretty happy so far

The beeping is when the traction control kicks in bud.

[Fletty]

ahh rito i assumed that it was only the light.
cheers

Prolonged activation of traction control will give you an alarm and if it is used for too long (long low traction climbs) the ABS system overheats or something. Then you will lose traction control and other ABS related stuff until it cools down. Only happened to me once. No drama though

Be very careful if you don't have an after market bash plate fitted yet! Believe it or not your intercooler will be the first point of contact with anything down low. (Factory "Protection" is just a plastic cover)

yeh thanks RUGGA a set of boos intercooler and sump plates were the first thing i ordered just waiting for them to rock up.
It does seem like a silly spot for an inercooler tho.
