Good morning guys
I have a 2001 pajero 3.2 GLS, currently 340 000km on the clock. Bought it in August and systematically going through it and solving all the problems that I am finding. Luckily mostly minor things
What I however have been seeing is that there is a refference to the 300k monster...but cannot seem to find the definition.
Will you guys please elaborate and tell me what to look for?

I wonder if you bought my pajero. Where are you located? Can you post a pic of the car?
Don't know who owned it before 2010, but bought it from Goldmember in Cape town at the start of August.
But here is the pic requested

Nope. Not mine.
At 300k I would look at
cam chain tensioner
all oils changed (diffs, transfer, gearbox) - check rear diff for leaks on the right side half shaft.
suspension and crossmember bushes
TRE's
stabilizer links
balljoints
wheelbearings
CV boots
front right inner shaft bearing
New globes all round
flush intercooler
PS: add 500ml 2 stroke oil to every tank of diesel for extra lubrication for the pump and to keep the injector tips clear of carbon deposits.

Will have a look at the list, have started doing some of the things already

I think the "300k monster" reference relates to a few auto gearboxes that required an overhaul at around 300k.
The general feeling was that a box that doesn't get the correct fresh oil on schedule and isn't treated with some condideration, is likely to throw in the towel at 300k. The rest just keep on truckin'.

Whats the scheduled auto box oil replacement?

I echo Roelf's suggestion about the gearbox service BUT do it as per 4E's instruction AND include a gearbox filter change. It is some extra work but as the souties say: Prevention is better than cute.
By replacing the gearbox filter, it will also give you the opportunity to inspect - and replace - the gearbox cross member mounting rubbers. They cost R282,77 for the eight rubbers and takes about 30 minutes to replace.
