Matt in the Solomon Islands
Well here’s a lovely silver Pajero in amazing surroundings. Matt got in touch to ask about a problem with his exterior temperature sensor (he’s fixed it now) and to show me his beautiful home.
It’s a 1996 model which he bought from Japan around the same time I bought mine (May 2007) and his verdict is that it’s an “Absolutely fantastic car” which I completely agree with.
Adding Front Door Speakers
Having decided to upgrade the stereo system in my Pajero, the first thing I wanted to tackle was the front door speakers. From what I can gather, most Pajeros came out of the factory with some speakers fitted in the front doors, so it’s often a fairly easy job to upgrade the existing factory fitted ones with some more powerful ones. But my Pajero had none fitted at all so all I had was a blank panel.
Pajero AT Mode Switch
This switch is often asked about on various Pajero discussion forums and I’ve been asked about it through this website too. So let me tell you what it’s all about.
Firstly, you’re only going to have one if you have an automatic gearbox and even then, only on certain models. A/T stands for Automatic Transmission and Mode therefore means that the automatic transmission can be placed in different modes using this button.
I guess the default mode is with the button in the central position. This is called the auto mode and when in this position, nothing shows on the dash. In this position the transmission will automatically change from power to economy mode as the conditions require. If you’re driving steadily without pressing hard on the accelerator, the gearbox will change up as soon as it can. If you hit the pedal hard the gearbox will drop a gear or two and increase the revs/performance.
