Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

I'm gonna open up the starter motor and remove the copper grease from the brushes as I learned that is not the correct way of doing it.

Also

My parts have arrived at the dealership and I'll pick them up today or tomorrow.

I'm not sure why I got two bolts for the crank ???

prices are excl vat

still waiting for one hose

haven't checked the parts to the originals yet...

dealer sent me two crank bolts as they don't know which one it is even though I sent them a pic of the car, engine, vin plate and manufacturing plate ??? any ideas?

anyways here are some of the parts

temporary fix until I can afford a new bumper some time next year

I got the bumper and tow hitch back on with some working lights

I have decided to keep the standard fog light system and will put an extra brake light in the centre window.



prepped organised and clean parts are nicely stored in a big boot



Simon, how's the logo coming? I need a pocsa sticker

I went looking for lenses for my hella spotlights ( as they were badly cracked and chipped ) but.........

There was an enthusiastic salesman that said I can get brand new spots plus globes at half the price of the hella lenses

So I bought two pairs




wiring done as follows

if (brights = ''on'') and (dash switch = ''on'') then (spots = ''on'')
else
(spots = ''off'')

Running through a 30 Amp relay with 600watt lawnmower wiring and a 20 amp fuse

600 W / 220 = only 2.7 A
or
2.7 A x 12 V = only 32.7 W

Are you sure about the lawnmower wiring? Check the heat generation carefully. Heat genration is proportional to the square of current.

I wasn't sure about how much current will be flowing and didn't calculate it......yet

so I went overkill with thick wiring and a heavy duty relay. If there is a short anywhere I'm sure the 20 amp fuse will trip.

The spots are rated at 55W each.

..., but the wiring from a 600 W lawnmower will be sized with a working current of 2.7 A in mind, because it is rated at a voltage of 220V, while each 55W light will generate a working current of 4.6A, because the voltage is 12V. You might be OK, but check.

I get 4.8Amps between battery terminal and spotlight positive.

The lawnmower wiring I used - I twisted the pair ( blue and brown ) together for the positive and the spots each have their own ground.

I'm gonna have to up the fuse to 30 amps. Thanks Gerrit.

Eish. Camera took a dump so no pictures for a while.

replaced the back 12v socket and the TO bearing last night
