love_mud,
The diff noise is not that loud, I know its there, its just that at times it gives me the "tomtits" so I will give your idea a try as I have been considering using a heavier oil with an additive to deaden the sound.

The oil in the diffs were checked recently, the oil was nice and clean.
According to the author of the "Dog & Lemon Guide" this diff noise is an inherent problem with this model Pajero !!!!

It`s a book that lists all manufacturing faults in most vehicles. I was ...

Accelerator flat spot

Can anyone tell me what cause a flat spot when I slowly push the go pedal on my NH 3 ltr ? It seems to be worst of all before the motor really warms up which causes a non normal auto gear change.
All help appreciated.
