Hi Warren, a mate took his out of his 185 surf. Simply removed the airbags and bulb and then scratched out the SRS label on steering wheel and passenger glovebox and got cert. Also has a sticker applied to where the airbags were saying airbags have been removed.

Many water blasters will suck though, that's why I bought mine, I can run it wherever I can get power and just chuck the hose in a tank or a creek with a filter.

Re: Pajero Idle fault

There are two exhaust sensors, the cat one and the o2 one. It needs the o2 one as mentioned for fuel mixture.

The cat one isn't reqd, just keep it plugged up but tie the sensor out of the way. If unpluged the dash light will be lit.

No, upping the pressure doesn't help get the film off. Spray the vehicle with CT-18 fleet wash 1st, let it sit for 15 mins then water blast off gets the film off or just get waterblasting then give it a quick going over with the normal car wash brush. I use a Karcher 4.something and it gets a lot of...

Doesn't the Nissan pto run off the input shaft so it wouldn't matter? Just need to put pto lever into reverse instead but you will need to raise the fair lead.

look at the reduction gearset rating + the Q stands for EWX9500-Q EVOLUTION runva winch i suspect, and is 80:1 Ratio; 8.7HP Motor; Enlarged Drum so on paper is a way better winch with speed and hp but tbh.. probably blow the gearbox to pieces.. lol Yup, but I think most recommend the normal Q model...
