"Hi everyone. My name is Jaspar, and I have a problem".
That's usually how these things go, right?
Bought my self a '11 NT Pajero used in Dec '14. Despite being an ex-Pilbara fleet rental, was in pretty good shape.
My previous vehicle (which I still have) is an imported '89 Nissan Terrano, which I spent absurd amounts of money on by overhauling/upgrading just about every part on it.
Needless to say, the NT Pajero felt like a luxury car by comparison.
Have been fairly happy with the vehicle, but have been chasing my tail on a few problems as of late.
I was hoping to get away camping every now and then, but a change in circumstances has seen the Pajero instead doing about 800kms/week on the freeway, between home, work, and as of recent - TAFE.
The Pajero itself is still very standard:
I have a full set of Bushskinz guards, although the transmission/transfer plates are not fitted while I have been troubleshooting.
Timing chain tensioner recall has been carried out.
Recently did a full AT service at 85k, new pan, new filter. Still think the AT is a bit suspicious though.
Fitted new Bilstein B6 shocks 6 days ago to replace the factory shocks - no lift for me. They handle very well, although are a little too firm on WA roads in my opinion. If I was setting lap times on a race track, then they would be great.
I have ordered a set of Koni Heavy Tracks to replace the Bilsteins for a more comfortable "touring" type setup rather than a "racing" setup.
If I ever magically find some free time, I hope to fit the extensive sound system that I have pieced together. But at this stage I have very little hope of finding the time!
Looking forward to learning lots of tips and tricks on these vehicles. They are awfully complicated compared to my last 4WD!
I used to be known as the best information source for the WD21 Terrano in Australia, but again, much simpler vehicle.
