Gidday all,
Just got back from a 2 week holiday with a mate who has a new Petrol Pajero, very nice vehicle, however when in 4WD it was making horrible crunching noises coming from the wheels, sounds a little like a rachette or cluctch slipping, book says it has to do with the traction control. The dash lights up with the wheel concerned flashing indicating which one it is.
He seemed to loose power when it happened (which happened a lot) and momentum.
Anyone shed any light.
Ta

Yep, you hit the nail on the head - it was the traction control cutting in, braking individual wheels that were slipping. Mate of
mine has just bought a new DiD, and the first time we went out to play the same thing happened - lots of strange noises, and the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Perfectly normal apparently, if a little freaky at first...
T-Bone.
