I have a rattle in the centre dash, above radio.
The agents have tried twice to fix but to no avail; any advice will be apreciated?

Hi Johan,
myne doen dit ook en dit is blykbaar 'n probleem met Gen 3 Pajero's. Beide die skroewe wat die dashboard vashou (bokant die inligtingkonsole) het al uitgeval. Die luginlaat aan die passasierskant langs die middelkonsole het ook gebreek en moet vervang word. Kon iemand joune regmaak?

Not yet
I am planning to dismantle the dash one day to try and solvle it myself

Ah! The undocumented feature of the Gen 3 Pajero - the rattle in the dash 
My 2007 GLX does exactly the same and I too have been considering pulling things apart to look for the culprit but knowing my luck I'd probably not find the problem and introduce additional rattles, squeaks & scratches in the process.
Another thing I have learned about the Pajero is that the noise doesn't always emanate from where you think it's coming from. For example: I had a light metallic buzzing sound which could be heard when under slight load at about 2200rpm. Despite much searching nobody (me, dealer, wife, friends) could find the source of the noise that we all agreed was in the rear cargo area - until one of the front passenger grab-handle bolts actually fell out! I put it back with some locktite and the noise has never been heard since.
Good luck & keep us informed!

Drive 20000km on badly corregated roads... this will introduce more ratlles so the dash rattle doesn't stress you out anymore 
I had a nose emanating from underneath which I was convinced was a problem with the propshaft. it only happened under low revs and the engine under strain.. until I realised the handle for the jack was loose under the rear passenger seat...

Hi Simon,
Thanks, agree
I do not plan to open the dash before another 10 000 km offroad
