[blue_gambit]

hi guys, im planning this weekend for general aircon cleaning of my fm kasi kulang na sa lamig. any idea what's the reasonable budget?

Nung march palinis ko was 1,700 yata, mas mahal converted kasi

[andrewbugs]

thanks guys for the replies. at least i have an idea before going to the shops. more power

ikawngaba, nagtest ba sila kung talagang mahina na kumarga batt mo? kasi pag saakin patay batt ang nangyayari pag start ng susi, iikot ng mabagal konti starter, tapos deads na. pero sayo diba may redondo parin pero ayaw mag start.

shiopz, mahirap malaman unless may boost gauge ka, check for leaks sa turbo and listen for kakaibang sounds when you hit 2krpm. oh yeah mausok din pag tumakbo ka hiway ng 130kph

ah ok... mas bata pala FM mu... '99 mdl yung sakin at 96+ kms na yung sakin... tuwing kelan ba talaga nagpapa-calibrate??? may certain km ba na dapat marating para magpa-calibrate na???

First time lang na calibrate yung sa akin.So after 80K + ang milyahe. Depende siguro kung ano na yung performance niya. Sa akin ay namamatay pag mag start at after na ma start mo ay black smoke ang lalabas. Typical na sakit ng FM na nag sasabi na due for calibration na siya.

ah ok... kinakabahan tuloy ako... gasto na naman... nagpalit na kse ako ng fuel and air filter nung biernes tapos naglagay na din ako ng petron diesel booster... nung sabado ok naman start ng FM ko pero kahapon nag start tapos nung tinapakan ko yung accelerator nag-emit sya ng white smoke tapos namatay nung binitawan ko... tapos hirap na ulit syang mag start... pump ko and bleed yung fuel filter tsaka lang sya nag-start ulit... kanina nag-start naman sya after mga 3 beses ko on/off switch pero mababa pa din ang menor... kakapalit ko pa lang ng GP na galing el dorado...

Promdiboy,

salamat sa inputs...i'll observe the behavior of the FM kung magpapakita ng mga ganung symptoms

[archijardy]

magkano kaya aabutin ng FM ko pag pinagawa kong 4x4?

[junerski]

sa patrol y61 series nasa 48k yung 4x4 kit... ganun din siguro aabutin sa FM

[crazy_boy]

[castlemaine]

Quick question:

Our Fieldmaster Pajero has the suspension setting of Soft-Medium-Hard...for city driving...i guess its safe to always set it at Hard and only when we trail off road or less developed rural roadways then we set it to Soft or Medium, gents please confirm if my logic is correct.

The reason why im asking this, is because my gf inherited this fieldmaster from her mom and since then, they never touch the suspension settings...Default was set to Medium...since i often drive it when were together, she's hesitant on touching the settings and just leave everything as it is...my stand is, if you have this feature on your vehicle then why not use it? My gf's logic is "kasi baka lang hindi maganda in the long run masira agad shocks" ..my stand is "mas less ang tagtag at baka mas makatulong pa sa FC ng konti kung nakahard setting while city driving"

I leave it to the guru's in this forum to confirm which is correct. thanks

Normal driving conditions use medium(typical city driving with the occasional lubak), smooth long range highway driving i use soft(slex,nlex,sctex), pag mabigat ang kargada eg madami pasahero or gamit i use hard, pero super bihira lang.

Bihira naman namin punuin ang seating capacity...most of the time...its just me and my gf riding it...pero since i activated the Hard suspension setting, mas nabawasan yung alog namin.

Dati kasi when it was left at default which is medium, konting lubak or humps...talagang alog alog kami sa loob...much more siguro pag sinet ko pa sa soft.

The reason why naisip ko yung logic ng hard suspension setting could contribute a bit if not all to thriftier FC is because dati akong mountainbiker...Sa mga full suspension bikes kasi pag masyado soft setting mo, pagpedal mo instead na mabilis ang pagpropel mo forward lumulubog pa yung padyak mo..compared sa mga nakahard tail na mas madali mag gain ng forward momentum.

Over all hindi naman siguro nakakasama sa suspension yung pagpalit palit ng setting, what ever setting it was set to..it all boils down to the riding preference of the passenger (please correct me if im wrong). thanks

Sa Fc I doubt if it will have any effects sa handling meron. I usually drive on the soft setting para yung maliit na road imperfections suttle, pero when when entering a fast curve I switch to hard (40-60kph) para di mag lean yung body to the side then go back to soft... trip lang hehehe

[oliver1013]

Tagtag kasi pag naka hard sa normal na kalsada. Well actually yun choice ng setting ko is based dun sa suggestion sa owners manual so far ayos din naman sakin.

[archijardy]

i use HARD, maalog at nakakahilo ang SOFT and MEDIUM.

but that's me...

[nelany]

Pareho kami ng setting ni Oliver. I use medium sa city driving at kung maganda ang road condition. Soft pag rough road at hard pag full ang load or sa kurbada at medyo mabilis ang takbo .

[jed_015]

wala akong pajero mga sir pero yung family ng girlfriend ko meron..ang napapansin ko sa kuya ko este kuya niya kapag nasa city medium setting..pero pag high speed let's say 100 kph(nlex and sctex) he turns it to Hard setting..mas okay kasi hindi maalog or bouncy. pero kapag onti lang ata ang sakay medium all the way..ata..not sure..basta napansin ko lang pag high speed maganda(para saken) hard..may time pa pala na napadaan kami sa rough road..nagsoft setting siya..okay naman din

[GoNeIn60SeC]

Ako I always use medium, naghahard din sko paminsan. Pero di ko pa natry mag hard sa hiway like super hi-ways..

Mga sir, san po ba pwede makabili ng emblem(not sure with the spelling) for pajero? Ung mitsubishi na nakalagay sa likod..? Wala na kasi ung sa FM namin eh.. TIA
