Battery Replacement
I had to replace my Pajero's battery today. I believe that, appart from resetting the compass, that there are more setting to be set. Could anybody shed more light on this subject? I have not yet driven the car and the person at the battery centre sugested that I take the car in to the dealer. What happens if I change/borrow a battery in the bush? There is no dealer close by? Your response will be appreciated.

Re: Battery Replacement
If you work carefully you can change the battery while using jumper leads to avoid setting losses.

For a GEN III: you need to reset the size of the car (SWB/LWB), the fuel (Petrol/diesel), the date and time and run around in slow circles to get the compass settled - that's it.

No idea for the other generations...

PS: don't hazzle around with jumpers in the bush...a lost battery at that stage doesn't help....
