Have seen on a forum elsewhere that you can get the vacuum solenoids from Ashdown Ingram for a fraction of the price, but will they do the trick? Have checked and greased the shaft, but does not seem to be moving much when you change between 2 and 4WD.

Raed hello scotty ,

We stop the car and wait then drive off and the lights stop flashing. 20min later lights flash again.This only happens when we are on a long drive. Is it safe to continue driving we are going Camping and do not have time to fix. Hi we have a 2000 pajero after driving over 100klm the orange flashing lights come on .

When I change to 4WD, 4HLC & 4LLc , the drive to all wheels are engaged and can be felt. The 4 green lights are "on" only when in 4HLc & 4LLC position. We found out that one vacuum solenoid valve actuator need to be replaced (The yellow marked one). By the time the ordered part be received, I would like to check the vacuum piping connections. It seems that the vacuum piping on my Pajero are all mixed up and only two pipes on the four rubber pipes that are connected to the two actuators, found next to the master brake cylinder, are marked with either the blue or yellow colour. All the rubber pipes connected to the steel pipes found at the under part of the engine compartment do not have and blue or yellow marking. Thanks to provide me with a diagram / schema of the vacuum piping, if available? I have the Haynes Pajero repair manual reference “68766” but there are nothing mentioned on this matter.

I took the vehicle back to the gearbox centre but they told me it was the plug from the speedo sensor. They cleaned it and conected it again and tried it again. When I cruise at 120km/h I set the speed cruise but it as soon as I take my foot of the accelerator pedal the speed cruise engage but after about two seconds it disengage again. I have tried a few times again but with no success. Does anybody have any suggestions. Kind Regards Wynand Hi Ron fry

I had to switch the vehicle off and start again to reset the lights although the 4X4 was engaged there where no indication on the lights. I had a gearbox brakedown recently when the main output shaft into the tranfer case and the main gear inner splines striped, why they don't know. When they worked on the gearbox they found that the sensors made poor conection at the conections. Luckely the problem where solved. I just wanted to hear if anybody have had the same brakedown on the main output shaft and gear splines. Is this common for Pajero to strip the plines because we waited guite a long time for replacement parts? Kind Regards Wynand Hi there
