The mounts part num is same for Gen 2 and 2.5, so the seats should be compatible. Part num is MB674239, num 14 in image.

The part numbers aren't listed as interchangeable but look to mount in same orientation and in similar way (triangular plate with dowels). Gen 2, 2.5 Montero linkage part num is MB623301 (1st image, Hyundai 98210-H1000 my be compatible), Montero Sport (Gen 1) linkage part num is MR245213 (2nd...

There's a tool called ChassisEar that can help with finding suspension/driveline whine/bump sources. It's finicky to wire up (lots of duct tape and zip ties), and then you need a second person to drive while you listen, but it can help localize the specific area making noise. Comparing the sound...

That could also be condensation. If you feel the smoke with your hand, is it more wet than slippery? What does it smell like? - Oil tends to get less viscous when it warms up, and so gets past old/dry valve stem seals better, so you may get more smoke after warm-up, not less. - On the other...

You can dry it out using a vacuum on the hole and a heat gun on the rest of the housing. Then to seal it, you can use the UV-curing plastic/resin stuff that's sold for windshield chip repair (and that dentists use).

Zip ties, (blue) electrical tape, 100mph tape, helicoil, RTV, and Indian head. Content by weight increases proportionally with age of vehicle. :ROFLMAO:

When a frame rail is being held together by a zip tie... :D Time to learn to weld? What do you use in your neck of the woods for rust resistance? Here in North America, we have Fluid Film and Woolwax.

Beautiful Monty! So is that a blister-fender SWB with a Pajero Evo-style body kit?

Old school cable. Very little difference b/w 2.5 monty and 1st gen sporty monty, lots of part share. For our monties, cruise control uses a vacuum pump, e.g. part MR309795 (alternative systems on other cars use a servo motor some times). More info on pajero4x4 (in Russian, but translate works...

Dielectric grease is great stuff. Any time I disconnect an electrical connection (sensors, battery terminals, chassis grounds, headlights, household lightbulbs, whatever) I smear some on during reassembly. I use the same silicone paste I use for brake caliper pins (cheaper than the usual CRC...

Spectacles, testicles, wallet and wait, wrong one... Air, spark, fuel, timing, compression. :D

Depending on the configuration, the common 4g64s are usually about 15hp less than the 4g69 (similar torque difference), but there were 155 and 105hp versions also. The 98-99 Montero Sport ES 4g64s are clocked around 135hp. However, there is much more aftermarket performance part support for the...

Afaict there are no longitudinally-mounted 4g69s in any US-market cars. However, that configuration was used by Mitsubishi/CMC Delica (Taiwan), CMC Zinger (Taiwan), Great Wall Motors Haval/Hover H3/H5/X240 and Wingle/V240 (China, Australia), Maxus G10 (Australia, India) and G20, Zhongxing...

Can anyone share some wisdom on hood louvers? The Monty above has one of the louvers patterned for Jeep TJs. There are also much smaller sets like this ebay one for an XJ. These seem to be used in sports cars for venting engine bay heat, as well as off-roaders during slow crawls in high ambient...

I think the term to search for is "gull wing window". These guys in Australia make some for Land Cruisers and Land Rovers (looks like no Pajeros): https://www.emuwing.com.au/ Looking at the construction, you could probably fabricobble something together using liftgate supports and glass hinges...
