Pajero 2007 SWB, running board

Hi, currently looking for a left hand (passenger side) running board. My one was a bit stuffed when out in the hills a month back. Beyond repair. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Rhino Rack Ripoff

Just saw this post. I recently had fitted a Rhino Pioneer Tradie rack as pictured on this thread for NZ$1039.00 from Opposite Lock 4WD in Chch. Plus riviting of rails onto my Pajero & labour. But the Tradie Rack though imported from Aussie seemed to be the standard price at the moment from other...

Re: getting a chipped key cut

Miti dealers charge about $400.00 in Chch for a new chip key cut. I just want a 3rd key as another spare and doesn't matter if the cheaper cuts don't have the auto door remote but what about any immobilizer/alarm to get around?

Pajero 2007 3 door 3.0 litre petrol auto - timing belt

What do others thinks with the first timing belt change - some say 90,000 or is 105,000km. Haven't the service manual at hand. And seen a cost of $2100.00 for extensive service quoted! What's rcommended at this mileage coming up? Currently sitting at 79,000km.Appreciate any feedback.

Re: Korando 2.9 litre diesel

Appears the Korando's have been quite popular for off road in South Africa, to a lesser extent Australia. Quite a few in Europe including the UK.

Re: Korando 2.9 litre diesel

Noticed some diff oil venting out of the breather hose today. Looking closer, oil appears as it should, i.e not discoloured. Had been in the hills earlier and crossed some small creeks but nothing deep at all? It was the few drops on the garage floor and splatter on the trailer tow bar that caught m...

Re: Korando 2.9 litre diesel

Korando is made by SsangYong. Just a pity that my vehicle being 2005 has only a drivers airbag which is odd for something not that old.

Aside from Ridgerider and Tred recovery plastic ramps, are those cheaper ones on TM (copies I guess) any good for both 4WD and ATV's? Have doubts on their longevity and taking the punishment but I suppose you get what you pay for?
