    Again, great advice & thanks to all; I’ll go for programming it myself and get to know the unit better. Cheers guys!

    Again, gentlemen, thank you for your advice.

    Regards the programming of the radios, is it possible to do it myself or does it have to be completed by the vendor? I enjoy doing geeky things like that, so wouldn’t mind learning about the equipment and programming the freq’s in at home.

    Dear Kumar,

    Thank you again for your assistance – a bit more shopping this weekend and I should be good to go!

    Cheers!

    Thanks Chris – I usually head out behind Nad al Sheeba; not really the ‘desert’ but enough flatish sand & open spaces to practice very basic skills. Plus the dog geets to run around while I practice using the shovel! 😉

    Dear all,

    Thanks again for the excellent replies & wealth of knowledge; I had hoped that deflating the tyres would answer my concerns about the current performance, so this advice has made me (and my wife & bank manager!) very happy 😉 I went to Icon Autos the other evening and saw how easy it could be to spend a loooooooooooot of money on this hobby, lol!

    I’m certainly not looking to tackle anything massive in my Paj, but just being able to get off the tarmac and see some new sights would be great, especially in the winter months when picnics & camping are options as well.

    I’m going to get a mini compressor and some other essentials this weekend, then have a practice over the next few weeks and hopefully join you guys for a ‘real’ drive.

    Again, many thanks and looking forward to catching up soon.

    Ian

    Thanks Ali,

    I’ve read some great articles already that have answered most of my questions, but was wondering about the wheels/tyres on my Pajero.

    She’s still fitted with the standard Mitsi wheels and Bridgestone Duellers and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on whether or not to upgrade either or both of these? I’ve already tried some very mild off-roading, on fairly level ground but in deep, soft sand, and have been less than impressed. Admittedly, I’ve not deflated my tyres as much as I should (don’t have a mini compressor….yet!) but I’m quite disappointed in current performance and can only hope the lower pressure will make a considerable difference.

    On that note, does anyone have any guidelines on tyre pressures for the Pajero? I’ve read Imran’s excellent article “Must Read for Newbies”, so if there’s no opinion on pressures to use, then I’ll refer to his guidance there.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Ian

    Thanks Kumar,

    Very much appreciated. I have some other questions, re. tyres & wheels so I’ll post them on the other fourms.

    Cheers!
