Bush Mechanic Course??

Great idea Frank as it is good to have some knowledge and experience when everything goes pear shaped.

Don't know anything about the course operators or course content but would be worth exploring further. Others on here may know more.

You can at least feel safe in the knowledge that you are driving a Pajero, from my experience they are almost bullet proof.

Get yourself the workshop manual and start servcing the vehicle yourself. There's probably heaps of stuff you can do on the Paj that doesn't involve having to own super expensive equipment.

4wd clubs are worth looking at, the bigger ones run courses in all types off off road 4wd related issues. The Toyota Land cruiser club (you dont have to have a Toyota to be a member) have a specific bush maintenance course.

Hi Frank
You have good replies above, but just different, we had a 98 2.8 Pajero for 9 years and the motor will go just about for ever if serviced regularly. The only thing that I found would not last and that was the glow plugs, both genuine and after market and would usually only get about 12 - 18 months out of them before I would replace all 4. In the end I would always have a spare set of Bosch after market glow plugs on hand, which I could pick up for under $100 for the 4, compared to around $200 each for the genuine.

I used to change the oil and filter every 5000 kilometres, and the coolant every 2 years.

They were a great reliable vehicle and it never let us down, and it had been to some very remote locations.

Cheers

Stephen
