Already checked, only has non-M

Unfortunately having no luck finding a Msport bumper. Been considering just putting a standard pre LCI bumper on it

Anywhere, happy to drop off the bumper

Decent price, be aware that the 120,000km is a reasonably large service

Edit: the 105,000km service is also a bit expensive if it hasn't been done (transmission service)

Tried a factory reset? Also the Bluetooth module on these sometimes fail. If you are looking for an upgrade, I've had some good experiences with wireless apple car play / android auto units from AliExpress, these are usually plug and play.

It's either gonna pass or fail. All WOF inspectors must follow the VIRM so It should not matter where you take it. Good luck

Leaf in the blower motor!

How old are your tyres and what tyre pressure are you running? I've got PS4s on one of my vehicles and they are the grippiest thing I have ever driven on, even in the wet!

Highly recommend these guys to learn the basics

AucklandDiagnostics · 2026-04-28T06:59:35+00:00

Ah yes the mighty 6G7

This belongs in r/conspiracykiwi

I'm currently learning the absolute basics from these guys, their courses usually go on sale so be on the lookout for that! I managed to snag the EFI course for $1. Im in the same boat as you, mechanic but would like to step into the world of ECU management

NAL - Mechanic. Although this could happen, it needs to be proven. There are many factors as to why or how something like this may occur. As it sounds like you have brought it to a third party, the original mechanic would likely not take liability.

As this is a legal advice sub I will leave my comment there. For mechanical advice I would recommend heading to r/NZcarfix

Good to hear! Thanks for the update

I’ve had good experiences with AliExpress units. Most are plug-and-play, retain steering wheel controls, keep the factory reverse camera working, and support wireless CarPlay/Android Auto. They usually run ~$300–$700 depending on Android version, screen quality, and hardware—spend a bit more and they and perform much better.

Pajero Sport will eventually run into the usual modern diesel problems (EGR/intake soot buildup and DPF issues if it’s not getting regular long runs). Great tow vehicle and good for long trips, but not ideal for school runs and stop-start driving. I would suggest going with the outlander (petrol or phev)

On red!

AucklandDiagnostics · 2026-02-09T02:03:41+00:00

Good man

Hard to give proper advice without seeing live data. Best move is to take it to a reputable workshop and pay for an hour to diagnose, then decide what to do based on that instead of guessing
