Gen4 Advice

Mon Feb 03, 2020 9:03 am

Morning All,

I recently acquired a '07 Gen4 3.8 V6. I previously owned the Gen3 3.5 V6, which was bullet proof and just a massive enjoyment to drive.
I have picked up the following issues on the Gen4 though:

a. The centre diff blinking light. While the light us blinking I am unable to engage 4x4, or so it seems.
b. The seat back behind the driver is unable to adjust due to broken adjuster handle.
c. Whilst driving, I hear continuous "clunking" sounds whilst accelerating, decelerating, going over speed bumps etc. I am a bit concerned over this.
d. Need a new door lever for the rear door.

Can anybody assist me pointing me in the right direction wrt a reputable workshop that will be able to assist.
I am in Cape Town, Norther Subs.

Thanks

Vivian

Hello

I am driving a 2008 Pajero 3.8V6 with 193000 on the clock, had the same "noise" from the rear specially when towing or traveling long distances.
Check every ball joint, control arm, shafts and bushes and at the end of the day it was the rear prop shaft that was dry and needed new boots and lubrication/grease , luckily it was fix before any serious damage,pay just over a R1000 for it before R12000 for a new prop shaft. :D
