Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My intake manifold gaskets failed. The original ones are made from paper. They break down from oil, I went to mitsubishi today and they now replace them with metal gaskets.Confirmed by the sales person that they changed them to metal cause the old paper ones break down
My ones were virtually non ...

took it to the diesel places today they think the turbo is fine and suggested blow by .
How do I check that out with out putting it all back together?

The intake manifold gasket blew and then oil spewed out everywhere.
Took the inter cooler pipe off and oil ran out of the turbo ,so I am assuming the turbo seal is gone.All pipes are covered in oil.The turbo has very minor play in the shaft but hasn't rubbed the blades on the body.

Turbo is a td04 ...

A mechanic recommended I put a litre or so of petrol in with my full tank of diesel to give it a bit more go and get better economy.

Too scared to do so but what are the thoughts out there? Is it a common thing that people do?

Pajero TDI,It appears the turbo has gone , whining. But it is also blowing large amounts of smoke, not diesel, if it where a petrol car I would say it had done the rings. IT is really excessive. Any ideas, if a diesel blows rings does it blow blue smoke or may be the turbo is leaking in to the ...

No I wouldnt ever dig holes in parks. I have a large property to drive on.
I only use chains in parks when the snow is soooo thick that I cant push though normally. Thanks for the advise.... Will try next time I am out.

Guys, Got hung up on a number of occasions yesterday.Diesel 2.8 pajero 1995 with LSD and centre lock. Any ideas on if I can get the lsd to transfer power to the non spinning wheel when the wheel spinning is right off the ground. I.E I fell in the ruts while straddling ( more than once) and one side ...

ICOM ALL THE WAY ITS INDISTRUCTABLE...

A bit hard to use ( menus) but you get the hang of it.

I have heard they do heads , but I have never had any probs , I always let it warm up before a shutdown though as I think it need to get to temp to prevent head damage no short shop trips in the paj.

I got my rebuilt gearbox back and the oil was black as could be. Had an additive that made the oil go like motor oil. Guy warned me as I left the store that the oil would be black as the ace of spades

bugger I need a winch bar but are in melb????
any chance of selling it and getting it here???

Thanks for the replies. I think I will stick with what I have , reason being by comparo it now doesn't seem too bad. I have a friend who has a 80 series and I thought of a change, but he still uses more than me towing.

I am not a lead foot , so I guess now if you see a red tdi Paj smile and wave as ...

bargain, I may have passed you today around Ouyen, white GQ is it. sorry I cant stand doing 100 klm hour in a 110 zone.....

Have been doin some more reading and I think the PAj is not too bad considering what I have come across.



I'll sell you my GQ for under $30k. How's $29,995 sound? It tows ...

What is it?
I need to tow 2 ton and the paj 2.8tdi uses about 16litres per 100 towing at 100-110 kph, given diesel cost is there a more economical diesel out there?

its get around 12 -14 liters per 100ks with out a load

Just came back from Broken hill and got between 15.5 and worst 18 per 100 ...

I have hella 4000's they are pretty good especially in the pencil beam, the spread where ok but I also have hella 160s and ipf all on the front and the 4000 pencil beats em all. We do a bit of shooting my mate bought cibie and we lined the 2 cars up , next week they where on ebay.

Wiring is really ...

any info gained pls count me in. Can I do this myself?

turbo diesel paj 2.8 4m40 goes great 13 per 100 no matter what I do.
In fact I rekkon I better economy in 4x4 figure?
hills no probs.

I have owned both , hey are both good but I would chose the paj. It is a bit more refined and possibly more reliable. I bent my ferozo from too much flex and blew a gear box and diff from water crossings. The paj I had for 10 years with no major troubles and they both did extreme 4x4. The paj is ...

Are the gearbox and the transfer case sharing the same oil on a 95 paj.
My gear box is a bit clunky on second gear( occaisonally) and I wanted to add some nulon to it but didnt want to stuff up the centre diff lock in case it works like a lsd .

I havnt looked under it yet to see if they have ...

when motorcycles in group hang 2 foot of ya bumper though the spur ,drop a gear give it a rev and let em smell the Diesel. They all backed off after that for some reason. made em lift there visors and all.

prob only works if you got an old diesel...

I had this once , and I changed the gear knob, as mine was non standard and it fixed it for me. The original was much lighter so it was probably acting as a weight on top!!!
