On the second series Mitsubishi Pajero, known as V20, the 2.8 diesel engine features a timing chain system. Unlike the traditional belt, this system does not require periodic maintenance but rather an inspection.

Generally, replacement may not be necessary until after 155,000 miles. However, as you approach this mileage, you should start checking the condition of the chain to ensure it is not stretching.

The first symptom of stretching is noise from the chain hitting the guides. To inspect, remove the rocker cover and check the tension of the chain and its tensioner.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
