Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi all,
I have something that started earlier today.
When stationary (and especially in 'D') my vechile rocks slightly left and right - almost like you standing on a freeway bridge and you feel the traffic move the bridge as they pass. Not a vibration and also not of the steering. More of a slight body roll.
I can still feel it in Neutral but less so.
Once I start driving I don't feel it at all and there is no steering vibration at speed.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Pierre

Check the engine mounting rubbers One of mine was completly loose.

Hi Lock,

Thanks for that. I did check but they were fine. Also that would have given me some roll while in neutral as well.
I took it to a propshaft place yesterday but that too was fine.
Then the guy there mentioned it feels like the car wants to die every now and again.
So that made me think (sould have tried that earlier ).
It seems like in Drive the revs dip down to 500 while in neutral it is around 800.
So he was right - the body roll in drive comes from the fact that the engine is on the brim of stalling.
So I need to increase the idling a bit.

Such a small thing - and I was thinking of bigger external things.

Thanks again
Pierre
