How do I check nozzles and plungers? is that injectors? I looked up my haynes manual on how to check the glows, so I can give that a go But as gary says it might be a mitzi thing, I was planning on videoing it with my cam and throwing it up on Youtube. It happens when the engine gets stone cold, so ...

Hi All Ah the reliable Pajero strikes again I thought I would ask some basic stuff and see if anyone has come across this. Coming into winter and colder temperatures i noticed each and everyday when I start my (2.8TD 4M40T) SWB 94 Paj I billow clouds of dark smoke everywhere! If i wait 8-10 seconds ...

Hi All I imagine a fairly easy question for your experienced boffons to answer. When I turn my lights on at night, my left rear brake light stays lit up as if I am braking regardless of whether I am or not. Its only the top part of the light that does this, as it is the separate two part Pajero tail ...

I dunno I found my 4M40T to be quite good, it certainly gives my friends comparitive diesels a run for their money. Against a MU, a 3.1 Bighorn and a Terrano, it does better for power and torque and highway performance. The diesel pump DID c0ck out but now its done and IU should be up for a good ...

From my limited knowledge of the subject I have a 2.8 TD 4M40T but the theory is the same. I had random stalling, very difficult starting without having the pump the accerator thru the floor! Worst thing is it was getting much much worse week by week. And as you say the idling was bad, had to keep ...

Hi Motivated Im still fairly new to Pajeros myself, have not long got a Hardtop 93 From what i have read and investigated so far 1)Parts are pretty much all interchangeable except when dealing with the different motor types, so there might be some drive train differences but indicators and panels ...

Im biting the bullet and getting the mechanics who live next to me to get the pump done. Giving them the keys tommorrow morning. Worried Im going to end up frying the starter motor sometimes with the weird starting... Alot of people I know are giving me a hard time since I not long bought the truck ...

Whats a fuel pump worth to recondition? someone estimated like $1000 bucks?

Finally took my 2.8TD SWB in to get the cold starting looked at. Essentially it starts fine, the flow plug light goes on, you hear the "click" of the relay and she starts. However on cold mornings or at night, it will often sudder quite heavily, so ill apply a little throttle to keep her from being ...

Here she is just after getting new tyres, just before the weekend trip into some mud and dust!

Of course she got much dirtier!!

Most I have talked too find the diesels take a bit longer to warm up. I think its just the nature of the beast. Ive been told if its not the glow plugs themselves, it could be the glow plug circuit powering the array. I still have an issue with mine dying randomly when cold, however Im confident if ...

Also known as Tergo Rust Converter?
Any idea where I can pick this up from?

Repco Supercheap? perhaps somewhere else? a paint shop?

Hi All Spending probably a little bit too much time cleaning up my truck and making it my own at the moment, but anyway have a question. I have some (say 8ish) stone chip marks that have a little surface rust in them. I can scratch the rust out with a finger nail or a small knife and i have a touch ...

I dunno apparently the size of the engines mean they are quite a big heat sink, so take a few moments to heat especially if you are relying on other cylinders to the heat up a forth... with a naff plug. Trucks starts very well in normal weather and even in cold, just shudders for a short duration ...

What is happening is it is starting on 3 cylinders untill the heat builds up in the head from the ones around it working right. Far less of an issue in warmer weather. That actually makes alot of sense. Whats the best way to test?, using one of the truck batteries and some leads or something lower ...

Hi All just procured myself a 94 SWB Pajero, so just new to this forum. Anyway I noticed my Pajero has a really noticable "shudder" when I start it on cold nights or mornings. The previous owner notified me of this, he would just idle for a minute or so before continuing. I noticed the ext temp is ...

Purchased a 94 manual 2.8td SWB, really enjoying it actually
Just looking at fixing up all the small annoying things, but she goes great and is nice to drive!

Hell yeah.
You got some pics of it?
Is it off a PAJ? how can I tell if its going to fit
Should there be some bolt holes availble underneath the front.
Sorry just new to mods.

PM me

Hi All

Just wondering when a cam chain has to be done for a 4M40T 2.8 Pajero motor.
Some people said never, but i am sure this is NOT the case
vehicle has done just over 200K

thanks

Hi All Have already posed a couple of times regarding the choice of a 4WD. Finally settled on a manual 94 2.8TD SWB Pajero in white! She has just over 200,000kms on the clock, but is tidy and everything works great. Just got her this weekend, so spent most of it cleaning her up ( simply so i can go ...

The magic is i rung my insurance company and found out that they are finally realistic about "turbo diesels" ends up being $10 cheaper a month than my car. bout $35 dollars a month! ( under 25) Getting finances in order today to hopefully buy a manual 2.8 with 200,00kms.... I hope that the motors ...

Im looking at either a 1994 manual with 200km or a low kms automatic. Only trick being the manual low kms is cheaper and the auto is more expensive.... Im not sure if its better to get a cheaper truck with more kms or not? Whats the fuel economy like on these? Ive read they range from 8-10 litres ...

Hi All A big newbie when it comes to 4WDing but looking at buying a 2.8 turbo diesel auto Pajero. Seems to fit my price range. Im keen to get something Short Wheel Base since I have no family and I like something a little smaller. I have some questions tho! What are the common issues and things to ...

Just looking at trucks lately... seeing whats what and a big question come up. Do I buy an automatic or a manual. Alot of people swear by the autos for offroading, making it easier to traverse bumpy/rocky terrain without having to clutch. Also moving between different gear ranges is easier I worry a ...

Im currently looking at a Pajero that is $4500ish manual 2.8 turbo diesel 1994... downside is it does have 200,000kms on it?
Apparently it might be a good option...

Hmm still looking, need to test drive one soon I think.

A friend of mine has a 4.2 turbo non intercooled Safari. Another has a 2.8 MU manual, Another has a Suzuki Vitara petrol, potentially a chap with a Terrano and a petrol Hilux? My Dad runs a 3.1 Bighorn, his is a little more kitted up than I plan to be off the cuff. He posts on these forums it ...

Hi All Ok first post I know, have been reading posts on this forum a bit lately, thought I would post and ask the question. I am looking to get into 4wding a bit, mostly a few mud tracks and semi shiney work to begin with, but in the long run who knows. My Dad is a 4WDer and a few guys at work are ...
