Re: Pajero dealer troubles

Apologies it its a 3.2 diesel.

They admitted that there is a Problem since we sent a video
To them but aren't goin to fix it because the problem is intermittent
And doesn't bring up fault codes... Hence the new battery.

I believe it is more serious than a battery running full volts and 1/2 CCA.

Re: Rear steer

Rear steer in a patrol isnt the best idea IMO

The full chassis is too wide to accomodate rear steer to its full potential.

better off goin for a dig unit, unless narrowing the chassis is an option
