Hi guys

I will be driving through Colombia and Venezuela in October and will need another service on my Pajero 2.8 diesel before I take on the jungles of the Gianas.

Anyone know anyone in either of these two countries that can do a good service and inspection

cheers

Wouldn't worry to much about a service whilst out there so long as done correctly before going Wink

How many miles are you planning on doing as you should be ok for 10000mls.
Do all oils including diff's and transmission fluid - brake fluid and pads etc.
Main thing is coolant and best to give a full flush and go 50/50 with antifrezze .

The main thing is parts to take like belts/alternator /wiper blades/fuses/oil/two spare tyres/compressor and the list goes on & on Wink

Why take your truck as will cost a fortune in shipping /tax etc ?
Could you just not hire one ??

Kurtis has been on the facebook group a couple of times, and I've had a bit of a chat with him.

hopefully, he'll be keeping us up to date with his adventures.

As he's new on here, he can't post links, so, here's a few ..

The truck and details are here - from where he bought it :

It's already done quite a bit of overland, with the previous owners - some pics here

and their youtube channel is here

I spent 6 months travelling overland in South America back in 1993/4 -it's an amazing place - Kurtis will have a great time. I'm donating a couple of bottles of the fuel additive I distribute - [url=http://www.lessfuel.co.uk ]http://www.lessfuel.co.uk[/url] to help with fuel costs and stability etc. - And to get some cracking promotional pics !

I think, with the support of the folks on here, and the facebook group, if he runs into any trouble with the Paj, we should be able to diagnose it, and advise. -

Actually, just thinking .... if you want to sell it, we've got a member in Guyana who was wanting one. - REVOGEL !! - I've just messaged him about this thread !

keep us updated Kurtis

Hi Mark thanks for the info. Had a look at the pics/description. If it weren't so far away would take a look at it but it is a bit too camperised for me. But at that price must be a good buy. At my time of life I don't think I will be attempting any safaris Laughing

Though there is an annual Guyana overland which if I was younger and in better health would love to do. Shocked
